Birth Control Becoming Political

The question being debated is whether or not birth control should be covered under insurance. My instant response to this debate is that it should not be a political argument.  If men could get pregnant, we wouldn’t be having this discussion. One main reason people are against this is because they do not want their government money/ tax money spent on women’s birth control. "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart talks about the controversy regarding contraceptives.  Jon Stewart featured a story about a women doctor who is fighting to have insurance cover the cost of birth control. Using Rush Limbaugh to example his argument against insurance covering birth control. This satire is effective because it informs the viewer of the issue while allowing them to make their own opinions. I think congresses needs to realize the benefits that this could have, It could help prevent future abortions. Overall I think birth control should be covered under insurance especially for people who can't afford it.
