TYT: Free birth control for U.S. Women

Should be free globally . It makes so much sense .

added to "Pop Culture" -you can work of the humor of that if you contort a bit.

Added to "Labor Party", . . .but it looks like the party may not get started.

Every little bit helps,....except when you don't want the little bits,....then I suppose every little bit you DON'T get helps . . . .

( sort of a "stop gap" measure. ) - heh -

this gal speculated on what incentivized congress to pass this new bill. Actually, it had nothing to do with congress - the damned republicans would have dumped this immediately.
This is part of a rule issued by the department of Health and Human Services. There are other common sense requirements included in this new rule.
Coverage with no copays for the morning-after pill is likely to become the most controversial part of the change. The FDA classifies Plan B and Ella as birth control, but some religious conservatives see the morning-after drugs as abortion drugs. Typical conservative lies - these drugs will NOT eliminate a pregnancy, as clearly stated on the web page for Plan B:
"Plan B One-Step™ is your backup plan--emergency contraception in just one pill. The sooner you take it, the better it works. When taken as directed--within 72 hours (3 days) after contraceptive failure or unprotected sex--approximately 7 out of 8 women who would have gotten pregnant will not become pregnant after taking Plan B One-Step™."

(The rules HHS do NOT require coverage of RU-486 and other drugs to chemically induce an abortion)

Other preventive services covered include:

_At least one "well-woman" preventive care visit annually.

_Screening for diabetes during pregnancy.

_Screening for the virus that causes cervical cancer for women 30 and older.

_Annual HIV counseling and screening for sexually active women.

_Screening for and counseling about domestic violence.

_Annual counseling on sexually transmitted infections for sexually active women.

_Support for breast feeding mothers, including the cost of renting pumps.

Hopefully before we get to 10 billion + world gov can come together and agree on people only having kids every other year, or something, especially those in the east

Free birth control is the best thing that has came from Obama yet, too many kids are having kids

Kewl. Too bad I don't need baby repellent anymore. :)

I am amazed in this misogynist, "women should be pregnant slaves" environment that this actually passed. I guess everyone was busy watching the bullshit storm around the phony debt ceiling crisis to stop a policy that actually makes sense.
