So, this is like saying that women are equally covered for prostate exams and men for pap smears. Some 25 years ago, health insurance plans excluded vaginal deliveries. The Supreme Court actually ruled that denying insurance for pregnancy was not sex discrimination. The tortured absurdity of this ruling led Congress to pass the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. Fertility is, um, a pre-existing condition for a huge number of working women.
Women are the ones who get pregnant.
Without contraceptive coverage, women end up paying 68 percent more of their own money for health care. Yet more insurance companies pay for abortion than contraception. Indeed more pay for sterilization than contraception. And they do. But there is something larger at stake in this discrimination suit.
