Subject: RE: BS: Calling All Sluts: Boycott
Hell, totally aside from medical situations, what the hell business is it of his if a healthy woman wants to have sex without the risk of conception? He is quibbling, for the sake of noise, over a fraction of a percent of the health-care budget, if that.

Consider the cost of one unwanted pregnancy saved by comparison and he should be happy to shell out for contraception for women out of his own pocket. Consider, further, the costs in long-term societal burden, of a child born unwanted to a mother who did not want a long-term connection to its father. It can get pretty gruesome. The cost of contraception is a miniscule cost in comparison even without health factors being added into the calculus.
