Contraception keeps government smaller

I can’t comprehend how people who want smaller government, can be against contraception. If women get pregnant because contraception is not available to them and they can’t care for the child on their own, who supports it? I don’t believe the church does. The government does, or, in other words, we do. Hence, even larger government.

I believe in the freedom and the right to stay pregnancy free no matter who my employer is. This is a personal choice, one I do not want my church involved in. But my biggest gripe about this issue is this: Are there plans for employers not to cover Viagra? If some people don’t think it is a right for women to have contraception available no matter their employer, why is it a right for a man to use Viagra and have it covered? Could it not lead to unwanted pregnancies?
