From a recent thread, elsewhere:
BUT...if at least some conservatives can agree that, in the name of slowing down the spread of incurable diseases, it's best - and cost-effective - to provide FREE condoms to the public, you'd think they'd realize that it's just as important to fund safe,
effective female contraception for the poor. Or at least BC should be cheaper. ______________________________________

WASHINGTON(Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden on Friday will sign an executive order designed to protect and expand access to contraception, after a Supreme Court ruling last year overturning the constitutional right to abortion raised fears that birth
control could also face restrictions.
Biden senior adviser Jen Klein told reporters that the order will increase ways for women to access contraception and lower out-of-pocket costs.
Klein said the order directs federal departments to consider requiring private insurers to offer expanded contraception options under the Affordable Care Act such as by covering more than one product and streamlining the process for obtaining care.
Biden's order comes as reproductive rights advocates say rising barriers are leaving millions of women without easy access to contraception...
