Lynn Watchmann, Chairman of the Ohio House Health and Aging Committee, would like to make most birth control (specifically IUD's) illegal in Ohio. The secondary effect of the way the law is written could, if passed, effectively make the birth control pill illegal.
I don't think the primary concern should be availability of birth control, but its legality.
Secondarily, if abortion is publicly funded, then birth control should be more so. There are opposing arguments, based on economics only, stating that if the fetus' targeted for abortion are brought to term, then they will be a burden on taxpayers anyway (statistically speaking), so why not prevent the unwanted pregnancy in the first place?
