I'd disagree. The "morning after" pill has a big safety margin (which is why it's OTC in some other countries) but birth control pills do not. They must remain dispensable only upon a doctors advice.

Having improved preventive care required by the ACA to all insured Americans will lower health care costs for all. Better to prevent a disease than to have to treat it.

Regarding birth control, the ACA does now make it "as easy as getting a pack of gum" - only unlike gum, no cash required up front.

Unless the looniest of conservatives take that away, like they are trying to now.

Conservatives don't like women having reproductive freedom. They rather support big government dictatorships and theocracies, delineating what certain people can and cannot do. Especially women. The assault on woman's rights is unprecedented in the past 60 years. Government in your bedroom and private life. These people are dictatorial loons. Sharia Law in the US - only it's "Christian" Law they want to impose.
