Making a Vas Deferens in the World
“I stopped taking the Pill over the summer because I can’t afford the $60 co-pay. I already have a $60 copay for my antidepressants, plus $200 a month for therapy. In total, I was paying for $320 for my maintainance health care each month and it was squeezing me too tight. I decided something had to go. I opted to stop taking the Pill because I was single at the time and not having sex on a regular enough basis to justify the cost. —Jessica, 28, writer”

In response to Rep. Tom Price who claimed that no woman has ever been denied access to birth control because she could not afford it. ”Bring me one woman who has been left behind. Bring me one. There’s not one,” Price told ThinkProgress when it asked how low-income women could access contraception if it were not insured.

Obviously his statement is cis-centric and this issue affects people other than women.
