Biden-Harris Administration Proposes Most Significant Expansion of Contraception Coverage Under ACA in Over a Decade - Ms. Magazine (msmagazine.com)

5 comments fedilink hide all child comments

The Biden-Harris administration last week announced a new proposed rule that would significantly expand access to no-cost birth control under the Affordable Care Act. The rule would require private health insurance to cover all forms of contraception without co-pays, including over-the-counter contraceptives.

This expansion of contraception coverage is important in light of steep declines in prescriptions for birth control and emergency contraception in states banning abortion.

If you want to ban abortion but not make contraception free, just admit that you are a fan of human suffering.

Free contraceptives is also a more effective way of preventing abortions than banning abortions.

Yeah, but banning abortion isn’t actually about preventing abortion though, any more than it’s about “saving babies”
