"The state legislature also slashed family-planning funds and closed family-planning providers. Many women had already been frequenting flea markets to buy pills to end their pregnancies (a questionably safe practice to begin with); there, they also sought out contraception, like birth control pills or injectable Depo-Provera"


Those forms of birth control aren't cheap at all. The uninsured did need Planned Parenthood. The idea that they are cheap is a view you share in common with Rick Perry, Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter.

"At the Conservative Political Action Conference last week, Ann Coulter mocked the Obama administration for requiring health insurance to cover birth control by saying “birth control costs $20 a month; an abortion is $400 or $500 at the most, you don’t get insurance for that.” First of all, Coulter is wrong, or lying. Perhaps she’s never been without insurance herself and she doesn’t understand the difference between a co-payment and what something costs without insurance. Twenty dollars per month might be what one pays for the pill with insurance. Without it, you can pay over $100. This is, in other words, precisely what you have insurance for.

But just as disturbing is how economically out of touch such a leading conservative is. Coulter doesn’t think $240 per year for contraception or $500 for an abortion is unaffordable to anyone. Clearly, she’s never met many normal Americans. There are, in fact, milions of people—especially teenagers—who don’t have that money at their disposal." http://www.thenation.com/blog/166318/rich-republicans-say-birth-control-cheap



At least half the Texas apologists in this thread either share Rick Perry's antiunion views or Rick Perry's views on birth control. There is a slight possibility they real dems, but not much of one. Too bad republican talking points are no longer alertable on this forum. I don't want to share a tent with people who have the views expressed.
