There's zero argument against it except by neo-Puritan creeps and 'free market' frauds who want to subsidize the wealthy even more.
Yeah, there is zero argument against it, except for the observations of the behavior of hundreds of millions of people since the 1960s. Just the following alone refutes your mere assertion:
- The USA went from a 5-7% out-of-wedlock birth rate in the early 1960s when direct abortion was illegal and artificial contraception much less used to about 41% today when direct abortion is legal and artificial contraception widespread. This is the exact opposite of what proponents for artificial contraception and abortion predicted.
I do not place ALL the blame on artificial contraception, but it is YOU that has some explaining to do.

^^^^^^^

just pulled phony narrative and "statistics" out of his clergy-penetrated buttcheeks; the latter of which is cool- might even be "hot" if one has a clerical fetish- but is still nauseatingly typical of the self-deulusion &/or disinformation this site is poisoned by.

"I'm pretty liberal, but can someone explain why I'm supposed [to] want free birth control to be a thing?"

Because unwanted pregnancies, esp. if carried to term, tend to be expensive--and the cost, realistically, is mostly borne by John Q. Taxpayer.

re: questioning liberal

Funny. Wouldn't the right wingers want the left wing people and black people to use more birth control? It would be to the right's advantage demographically.

There's a number of links in there too, but that's a good article about Texas, who embraced the idiotic policy of abstinence only education and compares it to other states with more liberal policies.

BINGO!!!!!! But the left vehemently denies that, puzzling eh?

You are correct, it is very simple. Just keep your legs closed and you won't have any more babies. Can't get more simple than that.

re: RightonBrother!

The right wing nutjobs view birth control as an affront to God's plan that we have joyless sex for the explicit and exclusive purpose of procreation. Most ostensibly male right wingers are self-loathing closeted homosexuals who don't even need birth control (they only orgasm when they stick it up someone's butt, which has no risk of pregnancy), so they're fine by this.

I was never too good when it came to abstinence, can't imagine it would work for the masses.

Haha same. While the education is correct that abstinence is the only way to be 100% sure you won't get yourself/someone pregnant, I would have to think that most people who abstain in middle/high school aren't going to change their mind because they were taught how birth control works. or given some sort of access to birth control.
