Domino's Pizza gets a pass for now......

I don't know why health insurance companies don't require contraception coverage without the mandate anyway.  You can buy thousands of condoms or hundreds of pills for the price of one childbirth, not even counting prenatal visits.

Presumably because they figure a significant portion of the contraceptionless wouldn't use it properly/at all, regardless of price.

How much does it cost per month to go on the pill anyway?

There are a million kind of birth control pills. Cost depends on which one your doctors picks for you.

Ok, so what about a rough guess?

On the men's side of things, WalGreens website says a box of 36 Trojans will go for about $21. At that price, you could do it once a day and come in at under $20/mo. Seems silly for the gov't to subsidize it.

Kids cost the gov't a heckuva lot more. Better to nip that one in the bud. And people in relationships frequently refuse to use condoms. Defeats the entire purpose of being monogamous. 

Right, but if the cost of a rubber is literally less than $1. Cost probably isn't the issue here.

My wife takes a birth control pill.. for polycystic ovarian syndrome. It helps regulate her hormones. This isn't uncommon. But on the other hand she must be a total skank who hates babies. I should inform her.

Totally irrelevant to the question at hand.
