I was approaching it from a cost/common sense standpoint. I don't really see why company health care should cover condoms, contraception pills, abortions, etc -- that has nothing to do with the health of the person in question.^

Abstinence is free. If you can't afford a kid, buy contraception. If you can't afford contraception -- sorry, you shouldn't have sex. I once read that starving teens in Africa use plastic bags. If it's good enough for them...

I have no problem whatsoever with contraception or abortion but I do have a problem with stupid people having their stupid decisions subsidized.
