With US presidential elections on the horizon a debate over whether birth control should be subsidized by the US government is in full swing.
The Republican Party held a congressional hearing last month to decide if birth control should be included in health care plans, raising the question whether religious organization should provide it.
RT’s Lori “The Resident” Harfenist has been asking the people of New York if contraception coverage should be mandated by the US government.

As a woman, I can tell you that there are better,safer, and cheaper alternatives to treat female issues, rather than using birth control. In fact, the pill has tended to create problems for women, rather than fix them. It’s usually not until a woman is in her 30’s and upward, that the effects from having taken the pill are known. The pill has been known to cause cardiovascular issues in women. With comments that are made about the pill and women’s health…has no one even seen a commercial or read the pamphlet? The pill is riskier for women over 35 and again, not just in those who smoke… As for the men who want to respond, you are not the ones taking it, nor putting yourselves at any possible risk from doing so.
Harvard Nicks- To expand on your comment…a recent article appeared that shows that oral contraceptives might have an anti-cancer effect in women over 40. If proven…why should they not be provided for free if it can help women lower their cancer risk???
Please, RT, provide the full story, would you?
The argument was over women who derive a medical benefit from using birth control (i.e. those who are using it for its other medical properties and not its contraceptive properties) should be entitled to receive it for free. If they are receiving it in the context of medical treatment, why should they not receive it for free? What if it turns out that spermicide is the cure for acne? Will chronic acne sufferers be unable to procure it simply because it can also be used as a contraceptive? How simplistic.
Open your mind; the world isn’t black and white.
