Birth control should be covered under health insurance

Birth control is costing college girls more money because of a complex change to the Medicaid rebate law. This is so such a bad idea because it means that girls who cannot afford birth control while they are in college are going to have more unprotected sex. It is idiotic to think that just because girls do not have birth control, they are not going to have sex. College students have sex, regardless if you think they should or not.
I personally think that it is very mature of these college students to be using birth control and hopefully they are using more than just oral contraceptives. Hopefully they still use condoms and other forms of contraceptives.
But to charge an outrages sum for birth control is a disgrace. First, birth control should be covered by your health insurance provider and not be paid for out of pocket. If it were cheaper and easier to get to, more people would use it and less unwanted pregnancies would happen.
I do not understand why pro-life people are so against birth control. They are idiots. If people have sex with birth control, they will most likely not get pregnant and then not have an abortion. It makes sense, but then those people say that they do not like birth control use either. I just do not understand it.
But I can guarantee that if birth control was covered by Medicare, more people would use it and less unwanted pregnancies would happen.
