Isn't it reasonable that contraception would help deter abortion? Especially when these women are working with guys that can get prescription coverage for erection enhancing drugs!! Am I missing something here about the lack of logic?

Not that I am against contraception but there is some amount of logic in creating a distinction between coverage of contraception and viagra. Impotence is considered to be a medical condition, a disorder, and viagra is in some cases the treatment for this disorder. Fertility on the other hand is not a disorder. Of course this whole idea depends on the debateable assumption that health care insurance should only cover treatements for diseases and disorders.

Note: I am not advocating that health insurance should not cover contraception. Just examining a possible motivation of some people who do advocate this policy.
