Too ridiculous for words

Browsing various items relevant to the heated dispute over whether or not contraceptives should be subsidized, I've encountered a whole lot of beliefs that are not just false but quite obviously so. They're so ridiculous it's hard to believe there are people who actually have those beliefs. Here are some of those (in no particular order):

  • Mandating insurance companies to cover contraception isn't asking taxpayers to pay for someone's contraception.
  • Not requiring that insurance companies cover contraception is the same as denying access to contraception.
  • The fact that the market price of contraceptives is high means there is a market failure.

If you believe any of those things, you should really be ashamed of your ignorance.
