On August 1st, 2012 the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) required all health insurers and employers to cover the cost of contraceptives in their health insurance plans. The provision currently exempts religious organizations and churches.

Yes, birth control should be offered free and easily obtained at any clinics, hospitals or doctor's office, so it is more accessible to those who need it, with or without insurance. But there should be exemptions on moral/religious grounds as well.

Yes, but do some tests first since birth control can be dangerously painful for those with feminine problems.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, based on income, birth control should be offered and easily obtained, so it is more accessible to those who can't afford it. Birth control costs should be lowered as well.

@8VLZYYW3yrs3Y
No, they shouldn't because if you didn't want a kid you should've been safe. If you were raped or in danger then I think it should be free.
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, it shouldn't be required but it should be offered and more easily obtained
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, it should not be required but it should be easy to obtain and offered.

Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, it should be offered and more easily obtained, so it is more accessible to people who really need it.
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, it shouldn't be required but it should be offered and more easily obtained as well as birth control costs should be lowered, so it is more accessible to those who can't afford it.

No, birth control pills should be over-the-counter (OTC) medication
@8Z9R7P23yrs3Y
Yes, but only for those who need assistance or already have it
@8Q8J5B24yrs4Y
I don't think it should be 'required' in case some people don't want anything to do with it, but definitely suggested to those who do
@8Q9M8XD4yrs4Y
Yes. To those people who cant afford it at the time.
@8Q8RMYM4yrs4Y
No, birth control is cheap, You could buy condoms at a store for like $6, and people who pay taxes who are against abortion may not want their taxes going towards abortion pills.
@8WBMH333yrs3Y
yes, it can be used to balance hormones in addition to preventing pregnancy
@8SPRKVF4yrs4Y
No, but they should be given tax incentives if they do.

Yes, because it might help others with their kid.

@4KPDFXD4yrs4Y
Private organizations should not be allowed to benefit and profit from healthcare
@92JXK3J3yrs3Y
Yes, but also support abstinence programs.
@8VCMN274yrs4Y
Only if a greater amount of workers that are women want that
@8TV9L2L4yrs4Y
no free anything!! Everything should be earned.
@9284RDV3yrs3Y
The government should continue to fund PP, and thereby provide birth control
@8FSK5JG4yrs4Y
yes, but only in certain cases like if a young girl got raped and cant afford it there should be cases where she can get it free but in a lot of other cases it shouldn't.
@8Y9795B3yrs3Y
Yes, especially if abortions are illegal in that state.
@8XVVHDP3yrs3Y
No, and health insurance companies should close down to support a fully privatized healthcare system.
@92T3XQW3yrs3Y
yes,it should not be forced on you
@8ZLD3MT3yrs3Y
Yes I feel like they should you have that choice to use that free birth control with your health insurance providers or not
@8R7JPB54yrs4Y
As a cis-male, I don't think that i have the right to make a decision on this topic.

@63ZXW6N4yrs4Y
Either way, birth control should be easily accessible.
@63ZXW6N4yrs4Y
No. It's up to the provider, but birth control should be easily accessible nonetheless.

No, but should be available to be purchased over the counter at a reasonable cost.
@DengekiMatsuko4yrs4Y
Not required, but should be available to be purchased over the counter at a reasonable cost.
@7D3JZKJ3yrs3Y

No, but lower prices so its more accessible and affordable.
@7RGBCQB4yrs4Y
@DreamBlueonE3yrs3Y
Yes, and start advertising for men to get birth control instead there's your moneymaker
@7W3SBDC4yrs4Y
Government funded or ACA insurances yes, but not private ones.
@86K29S94yrs4Y
No, instead there should be an expansion organized at the federal level of condoms that are placed in vending machines located in low-income neighborhoods
@85QWNPG3yrs3Y
Yes, as should all medication under a universal healthcare system, private health insurance providers equally should be limited on the prices they can charge for any medication to prevent corruption and enable more open access to those in need.
@8B22Q764yrs4Y
No, Basic birth control should be available over the counter

@8CBC8MV5yrs5Y
yes 100%, I think if the government wants to ban abortion then they should provide free birth control for every women in the USA, because some women get pregnant because they couldn't afford birth control or condoms, or they were allergic to the latex and the materials the condoms are made out of therefore they didn't have another choice not to get pregnant unless they were trying too.
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
Yes, this will help to decrease poverty and lower the number of abortions performed nationwide
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
Yes, this will help to both decrease poverty and lower the number of abortions performed nationwide
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
Yes, this will help to decrease poverty rates and lower the number of abortions performed nationwide
