The 18 For-Profit Companies Fighting to Eliminate the Birth Control Benefit

Notice how they’re all old white men for the exception of one (white) woman.

What is really alarming me is that the foundation of many of these arguments is “It’s just like abortion,” proving that either they are willfully ignorant or just legitimately don’t understand how birth control, or, for that matter, how the female reproductive system, works.

Recreational abortions?

Ack, please, no!!
