Free Birth Control for All

I've been listening to the controversy over President Obama's health care plan that requires employers to provide free birth control for their employees. It seems that Catholics and some other religious groups are unhappy with this mandate. I fully support providing free birth control for employees. I think that all employers whether public or private, religious or secular ought to insist on free birth control for all employees, male or female. I think that free birth control ought to be given out in every school in our country. In fact, it is my feeling that not insisting on free birth control is one of the serious problems we face in America today.
Of course, my idea of free birth control and that of our President differ. I think that birth control should be free. I don't think the people should have to pay for it, nor should insurance companies, or our government. After all, how much does it cost to say "no"? Abstinence is the lowest cost, most effective birth control that we have ever come across and it is readily available to all. It doesn't matter if you are rich or poor, young or old, male of female. Abstinence works for all. In fact, there is only one reported case where abstinence has failed to keep an unwanted pregnancy from happening.
So, what is all the hoopla about? We already have free birth control, and it is truly free. Maybe instead of our government worrying about how to help Americans as they continue to wallow in their sinful lifestyles, it should focus on the job of government. If we had to live with the consequences of our sin, we might begin to think twice about some things. The results of our sinfulness are there to remind us of our desperate need of a Savior, and that Savior is certainly not the American government.
