My insurance actually does pay for birth control (although I'm taking it for something else, it's just a lovely side-effect that it's hard for me to get pregnant too lol). It also paid for part of Plan B when I needed it. I think my company realizes that preventing pregnancy is less expensive than having a child. Good on them :)

You've made me nervous though, about going to find coverage on my own once I'm no longer eligible to be on my parents' plan. I will likely need help getting pregnant in the future through the use of ovulatory drugs (so I have more than 4 random chances a year to get preggo, lol). But, we'll see. Maybe by then I won't have to worry about it.

You're right though, maybe it is wishful thinking that insurance would cover it. But, maybe in the future, companies will actually do the right thing. We still have health care reform to iron out, and who knows what'll happen in the process.

But, money aside, I'd still like to know which options are considered more "ethical" in ending a pregnancy. Since I'm not a pro-lifer, I can't really judge that very well.
