The "WAr On Women??"

[Thorne]

if you fall into the, what is it, 14% that uses bc for non bc reasons, cover them.

But that's the problem! Religious organizations, such as the Catholic Church, don't want to have to pay premiums for their employees and have birth control pills covered, for ANY reason! The same with the pro-forced birth crowd. Any medication that might allow a woman to enjoy sex without the risk of pregnancy, regardless of the actual reasons for her taking the meds, is hateful to them! Really, this is not a cost issue. As you yourself note, the cost of the pills is negligible, and by having them covered by insurance, and thus made available to more women, the costs would drop even more.
