If benefits are to include free birth control, one could make the argument that welfare benefits for additional children can be scaled back now that not using is a "conscious choice." Additionally, it should reduce abortions, so it should please everyone.
Those on welfare already can get birth control pills for free. So I don't think this will stop people from having their 7th kid to increase welfare benefits.
Insurance carriers typically do not pay for voluntary abortions.
Please tell me how this will reduce the cost of insurance. In fact, show me ONE mandate that lowers costs.
