Yes condoms can break but I have yet to meet the woman who can honestly tell me she's never missed a pill. The perceived advantage of chemical over barrier contraception is actually limited only to convenience.<br />I also don't oppose welfare in the right cases, please don't assume anything about me. I oppose its function as a career choice, not as a safeguard to help people between jobs or to support the disabled.<br />And finally, here's the bottom line: sex is a want. Food, that's a need. Medicine is a need. Clear air is a need. Sex is not a need. As a result, any form of contraception is an optional choice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642469491548710234.post-63469170585200220372012-03-19T15:27:40.004-04:002012-03-19T15:27:40.004-04:00Again, who, pray tell, is going to pay for all tho...Again, who, pray tell, is going to pay for all those extra babies? Those who are pro-life might view the use of non-barrier contraceptives (which are more effective than barrier methods--they break) as a responsible move for couples who cannot afford another child. (And in this economy, that's a lot of people).<br />Also, a child is not just an inconvenience. For some families, another child means expenses such as daycare (or the lost income of a mother who stays home until her child enters free public school--which is about five years), health insurance (and babies are the most expensive to insure on private policies), diapers, food, space, etc. For families barely making ends meet on two incomes, a child can mean the difference between accepting welfare (which I assume you also oppose) and not.AztecQueen2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/09371826731550331938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642469491548710234.post-20532466496705473232012-03-19T13:48:35.691-04:002012-03-19T13:48:35.691-04:00This is tricky.

A health plan that covers essential medications is under no obligation to cover the Pill for contraception (as opposed to medically necessary reasons). So while it might be mighty inconvenient for said married couple it isn't exactly necessary like food, antibiotics and toilet paper.Mighty Garnel Ironhearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09571194550300367249noreply@blogger.com
