[oceandezignz]

While President Obama wants to grant women access to free birth control, this guy thinks women ought to pay more for access to contraception -- $1,500 per year more, to be precise.

Why doesn't he find another more accessible method for us to use and then start whining about it. Because I can see not wanting all those hormones in our water system, but you can't tell use an IUD is a better option when that shit costs hundreds (or a thousand) of dollars I don't have.

Heathen!!! Its a man's God given privilege to throw his white baby batter all over the world! To end that means you are going against everything good decent and overbearing in this world.

How could you...

A thousand? Were are you going that an IUD costs a thousand? I mean, they're stupid expensive, no lie, but I haven't heard of them being THAT expensive, even without insurance.

Planned Parenthood lists the cost one should expect for an IUD at $500-1000, when the cost of the preliminary exam/insertion/any followup exams are factored in, and I can believe that would be the case, especially for women who are under/uninsured and don't have access to a sliding-scale clinic.
