Even inadvertently Bush is against birth control. When Bush signed the Federal Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, few knew it would scale back access to contraception for the group of people who need it most: college-age women.

But that's just what it did by eliminating incentives for pharmaceutical companies to offer contraception at a discount to college health centers. The bill went into effect in January of 2007 and the next month, once it was realized the impact this "unintentional" consequence would have, pro-choice legislators rushed to remedy it by adding to an Iraqi Spending Bill a provision that would have exempted college health centers from the Federal Deficit Reduction Act. Of course, anti-contraception pro-life legislators and groups, pleased by the scale back in access, removed the remedial provision from the bill.

For the remainder of the semester, a lot of college-health centers were able to offer birth control to students at the discount because they had enough in stock so few college students felt the sticker shock. But in September, many college students will return to campus to discover for the first time the price of their contraceptive method of choice has more than doubled (in some cases more than septupled--from $6 to $45).

Some will choose to get their contraception covered by their parent's insurance (that is, the large demographic of college students eager to have their sexual activity known by their parents). Many others will opt to scale back on contraceptive use or use less reliable methods. College-age women already have the highest rates of unintended pregnancy and abortion--there's no deficit there. Here's proof once again that when it comes to abortion Bush and pro-life operatives are not interested in reduction.
