The "WAr On Women??"

[Thorne]

if they actually do need the pill for medical reasons then yes it should be covered by insurance companies. i admit that i have no idea what percentage of women would qualify for it, but i assume it is the teeny tiny minority, and probably would not affect the vast majority of women seeking the pill

According to this site, "14% of pill users—1.5 million women—rely on them exclusively for noncontraceptive purposes." and that "more than half (58%) of all pill users rely on the method, at least in part, for purposes other than pregnancy prevention—meaning that only 42% use the pill exclusively for contraceptive reasons."

That's a lot of women who use the pill for reasons other than exclusively to prevent pregnancy.
