Should birth control be made free for all citizens?

“Contraception means fewer abortions and lower costs to taxpayers.”

So the question is: should birth control be free and accessible to all?

Debate and discuss.
Should birth control be made free for all citizens?

I’m asking this question as this is the topic for my upcoming sociology debate. Would be great to hear everyone’s thoughts. For me, I think that birth control should not be dispensed for free. However, emergency birth control may be dispensed by a doctor at a state subsidised rate (should she be under social welfare).

  • It should, but first sanitary products should be free. It's possible to avoid having sex but without serious medical intervention a woman who is pre menopause will have a period every four weeks roughly.

    If contraception and abortion are free but sanitary pads and tampons are subject to the profit hungry market there's something seriously wrong with society.

  • It should be made affordable. Nothing is free as citizens have to pay taxes. It cost taxpayers more to give away free stuff. It would cost the government twice the price to supply contraception rather than let citizens just buy it over the counter.

  • They keep farm animals separated to avoid being uncontrollable breeding. People should act like reasonable humans, if you don’t have disposable income for condoms you should not risk impregnation. Both men and women.

  • Not really. Birth control is relatively cheap. If people can't afford birth control and/or can't afford the consequences of intercourse (pregnancy) then they should get a work instead of sexing around for fun. We aren't praying mantis to loose our head over sex.

  • Or maybe hold people responsible for their own life decisions?

    • I mean some people can’t afford birth control. So the question is, should money be a barrier to practicing safe sex?

    • If I can't afford a condom the least of my concerns should be wanting to have sex, if she can't afford the pill she should do the same thing, take a look again at her priorities, especially since that the consequences of unsafe sex are far more impactful than on me, nothing should be free bruv all of these "services" aren't someone else's money, abortions shouldn't be allowed in the first place, this theory is like giving potential bank robbers money so that they don't rob a bank, simply don't rob a fuckin bank, and if you do suffer the consequences (or live in glory in my case if I decide to do it, I still know it's bad though I don't claim it's a good thing like those abortion morons)

    • Sorry if it sounded like I was rude at any point or like I was ranting (I kinda was) but it isn't directed at you bruv

    • Show All

  • Free.. they would still have to be paid for some way. But made available for free, yes.

    • It would come out of tax payer’s money

    • Yes. And still, yes.

  • Condoms are like a quarter a piece at Walmart. If you can't afford that then you need to be out working instead of having sex anyway.

    • Hi! Thank you for answering. To give you some context: I’m asking this question for an upcoming sociology debate. So you think that birth control should not be free, right? (I think so too)

    • Cool, and yes that is correct.

  • It’s already free. You can get contraception, whether it be condoms or birth control, pills, free of charge from Planned Parenthood. There are other centers that provide it as well. Most high schools will give condoms out, although I can see how that could possibly be embarrassing for a student. It should be free and provided to everyone regardless of age. Personally, I don’t think anyone under the age of 15 is ready to have sex, and actually, I think it should be older, but I’m trying to be realistic.

  • Nothing is free. Somebody always pays. How about free toilet paper? How about free Viagra,

  • Yes and no. On one hand I don't want to pay more tax dollars to support some bum's baby who shouldn't be having babies they can't afford. On the other hand, I don't want to pay for some bum's condoms and birth control pills that can't afford. Either way, if the can't afford condoms, birth control pills, or a baby, maybe they should go take a cold shower and keep their pants on before they create more fucking bums with no common sense like themselves.

  • Birth control is free already. It costs nothing to abstain from sex.

  • I don't think so.

  • Nothing is free

  • No. People should learn to say no to vaginal sex. Furthermore, condoms ain’t always cruelty-free.

  • Already are.
    Not difficult to find them.

  • Condoms are free, just go to the clinic and ask for them. The thing is no one wants to use them.

  • No. It's called "Stop whoring around"

  • Yes it should

  • It’s already free with insurance.
