free contraception
I read an article from Yahoo News on health care providing free contraception. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101031/ap_on_he_me/us_birth_control It was said that, "There is clear and incontrovertible evidence that family planning saves lives and improves health," said obstetrician-gynecologist Dr. David Grimes, an international family planning expert who teaches medicine at the University of North Carolina. "Contraception rivals immunization in dollars saved for every dollar invested. Spacing out children allows for optimal pregnancies and optimal child rearing. Contraception is a prototype of preventive medicine." The cost of birth control is expensive and should not be put on the backs of tax payers when instead there should be a focus on teaching children about not having sex until marriage. Because if you're having sex, you should be responsible enough to consider the possibility of becomming a parent in nine months. The article also declared that, "The Contraceptive CHOICE Project is providing free birth control to as many as 10,000 women, tracking their decisions and the results. About 70 percent have chosen long-acting contraceptives such as IUDs (intrauterine devices) or implants, which are reversible and have a much lower failure rate than pills or condoms." After researching a bit on the intrauterine device, the cons outweighed the pros. Free contraception through health care is expensive, dangerous, and a way to control the population. Three negatives that don't make a positive.
