So, why do so many self-described pro-lifers oppose
free and accessible birth control?

For some it's a religious issue. Others believe it's an area that that
the govt. has no jurisdiction over. Free and accessible birth control is
fine so long as tax payers are not burdened with paying for it.

If you are actually a fiscal conservative you know money spent on
birth control and abortion comes back 100 fold in welfare and prison
costs you don't have to spend.
It is a very efficient use of public money. Birth control and abortion
should be part of any welfare package.

Excellent points. I am personally surprised that they are not more
widely embraced. It's not like all of these unwanted children are
becoming good little church goers and model citizens.

When a single 15 year old has a baby, it destroys 2 lives and they
become a burden on the rest of society, virtually every time.

The ONLY issue is religious.

No doubt.

There's a difference between "free" (or subsidized) birth control
devices and "free" (or subsidized) abortions. Both should require
personal responsibility as a prerequisite.

No religious influence on my part.
