Yeah, see how mad you get when others don't know your situation and say what you should be doing with your life? There are people who would say that you are a burden on the taxpayer, or the healthcare system just as you claim this birth control situation would be. See how the situation isn't so black and white?
You don't know others situations either. There are people who honestly can't afford birth control, but more importantly they can't afford a child either. There are people who are working just as hard as you did for your degree just to make ends meet. So they shouldn't have sex at all? Some would say that with your bad ticker you shouldn't eat so much as a hamburger, or even walk to the mailbox.
Teens are going to have sex regardless of what the church or government tells them. Consenting adults sure as hell are going to have sex also. As was pointed out before the cost of birth control is so much less than the cost of abortion (and with more readily available and affordable birth control there would be FEWER abortions), or the cost of welfare for children that the parents can't afford. You can be pro-life, and also pro-birth control.
I'm guessing your stance on this has less to do with the cost involved, than it does with your religious or political views. Your original post sounds eerily close to the propaganda that Rush Limbaugh was spouting before he should have put his foot in his mouth.
