Glad I Read This Now...
I've been paying out-of-pocket for private insurance since Interbots went full-time, back in 2006. Good thing a baby hasn't been in my plans.
I had always assumed if I got pregnant by accident I would have a choice, but a $500 pill from planned parenthood vs. a $22K delivery is not really a choice when you've got < $1000 in your bank account. I had always assumed that "financial considerations" in the abortion statistics referred to the cost of raising a child, not freaking pushing it out of your vagina.
Anyway, if all goes well, I'll still be working for Interbots if/when I decide to have children. Someone remind to me thoroughly investigate my insurance coverage before then.
