Where do you get your information? We are talking about the RIGHT to something, and the hard-right zealots are to the point that birth control is the next logical step. Look at Holy Lobby, I mean, Hobby Lobby - if an employee is lucky enough to get health benefits, the company's responsibility to include birth control is specifically exempted. That's right, even an unfertilized egg is not allowed "protection" from marauding sperm - that would be tantamount to the same evil as abortion itself.

Do you know what can prevent abortion?

Birth Control. Logic has nothing to do with these people.

Do you know what helps prevent abortion?

The promise of a safety net to make sure that after this "oh-so-precious life

has been saved", the child does not spiral into poverty, poor health, or a

bleak life - nor does the mother, who may have had no options.

Do you know what else prevents abortion?

Vasectomies - check it out and tell your friends.

Hobby Lobby illustrates why health insurance should attached to the insured and be fully portable, not attach to the employer.

Vasectomies are a simple, fully reversible procedure for male birth control.

Voluntary abstinence also 100% prevents abortion, but not a viable public policy because of human nature. See the failure of Abstinence Only programs.
