CMV: Some form of birth control should be available to all Americans at no charge.

A form of birth control that is safe and effective should be made available to every American who wants it, free of charge.

This would include the pill, iud's, condoms, diagrams, etc. and hopefully at some point a chemical contraceptive for men.

A low cost standard would be decided upon but if that particular product doesnt work for a person the next cheapest effective option would be provided.

Students in public schools would be educated on the products and public schools could possibly distribute the product.

I believe that this would pay for itself by reducing the number children dependent on the state, by allowing more people to focus on developing themselves instead of taking care of unwanted children, and by reducing the amount of revenue lost to child tax credits.

Furthermore it would reduce human suffering by reducing the number of unwanted, neglected children and the number of resentful parents. It would also reduce the number of abortions which I think we can all agree is a good thing.

Update: It turns out that there are a lot more options for free and affordable birth control in the US than I was aware of.

But why was I not aware of them? I think that is a problem.

Maybe the focus needs to be more on education and awareness of all the programs that do exist.
