Women have over 13 methods of contraception, as well as a whole series of them being cheap, free, local and/or available for delivery or collection on the day.
Obamacare and most Insurance companys already cover the costs for some of them in its entirety and information on sexual education is available 24/7 on their phones every day of the year ..

....and we still have hundreds of thousands of abortions, 40% of which are from women in their mid 20s on their second one or more

You could literally catapult the pills through the kitchen window and nothing would change because personal responsibility will always be a pre-requisite for convenience and affordability to have any kind of benefit

You might think that access is as good as easy access to birth control. The state of Colorado published results a few years ago that proves otherwise:

"The Colorado Family Planning Initiative (CFPI) drove a 50 percent reduction in teen births and abortions, avoided nearly $70 million in public assistance costs and empowered thousands of young women to make their own choices on when or whether to start a family.."

In addition:

"Births to women without a high school education fell 38 percent.
Birth rate among young women ages 20-24 was cut by 20 percent.
Average age of first birth increased by 1.2 years among all women.
Rapid repeat births declined by 12 percent among all women."

A 50% reduction in abortions should make this attractive to "Pro-Life conservatives." The potential to save billions in "Welfare," costs should appeal to "Fiscal conservatives."

Instead of knee-jerk rejection of a probable, at least partial, solution to a problem, do a little research.

Really? Some haven’t expanded the money give away to Medicare, but you can get obiecare in all states and territories. Or you could learn to keep your legs closed.
