In answering your question, I have one for you, especially where the morning after pill is concerned - does personal responsibility play any part in this where you are concerned? I ask this because that's where I find a big difference between taking birth control pills versus the morning after pill.

I believe sexual active women should protect themselves but as we know some employers, on religious grounds, refuse to cover birth control and even refuse to allow the government to provide them under the plan.
To me the morning after pill should be for available in the case of rape, incest or anyone not able to obtain birth control pills.
My problem is I personally have voted on the Personhood Amendment 3 times in my home state. I see this as a religious group or voting block trying to impose their religious beliefs on the rest of us. This country was founded on the basis of religious freedom.
