It’s purely a numbers game which is the inevitable outcome and unintended consequence whenever you turn your welfare over to the state to control. The number crunchers start making decisions for you on where to spend your money for the good of society. As you pointed out, many proponents of this “free” contraception are spitting out ideological rhetoric claiming this is an issue of women’s rights and access to healthcare to milk it for political gain, but it was probably a proposed solution through cost-benefit analysis (for the Gary Johnson fans) by those running the programs to be a means to lower overall costs on other social welfare programs by reducing the number of unwanted children to women without the means to raise them who would end up on the public dole.

I also think that the MSM, as well as the administration, is framing this as being about contraception only. That is the tip of the iceberg, as the “compromise” states that insurance companies will provide drugs are services that provide abortion.

The Catholics that voted for Obama should be hanging their heads in shame. Obama was known. People were talking about him before he was elected, but far too many religious people drank the Kool Aid.

I remember Stupak’s decision to vote for Obamacare. It would be interesting to hear his take on this now.

Good to see you back at it Larry.
