Birth Control Is Harmful?

[Townsend]

Think Progress?? Masters of hyperbole, the Fox of the left.  How does Think Progress push obvious op-ed as hard news?

I'd love to see this study referenced where over half of young women say they don't use contraceptives as directed due to cost.  They can get cheap BC pills through Planned Parenthood.

Even if the bill passes, that does not put insurance benefits for 2 million Oklahoma women in jeopardy.  I suspect the number of employers who would seek out health insurance without BC benefits is very small.

Eh, read what you want.  The crazy exists in Oklahoma's senate and it shouldn't.

So will this be the "Barefoot and Pregnant" bill, or the usual, the desires of a very few determine the needs for the masses?

Desires of one apparently.

Hopefully it will just be ignored in committee.

Maybe they will spend more time figuring out how to make the state run better.

not a precise fit in this thread, but here's news. Arkansas more loony than Oklahoma?

Arkansas has passed this same basic law before.  It cost then state $250000 to defend it, and when they lost they paid $150000 to the attorneys who over turned it.  Meanwhile, it did nothing to achieve the stated goal.

Most people would view a repeat as a waste.  Surely $400000 could be better spent to help troubled women make better choices as opposed to a failed attempt at trying to force religious convictions upon them.

Yes, well...not Oklarkansans.
