Citizenship and the Right to Birth Control

Calling this yea's political fight about funding for contraception a "war on women" may be a catchy slogan and a strong mobilizing call. But as an analysis, it is misleading. True, birth control does affect women disproportionately, because women still take primary responsibility for raising children. But everyone needs access to birth control. It is, irst, a matter of public health, in that unsafe and irresponsible sex affects us all.
