Birth control v. Viagra

Abortion always has been a hot issue in elections and will continue to be for a while.  That's not the issue here.  The issue instead is birth control coverage.  John McCain has voted repeatedly that health insurance companies should not cover birth control and that no federal funding should ever be used for contraceptives.  In 2003, McCain voted against an amendment that would require all health insurance companies to cover birth control (S.Amdt. 258 to S. 3).  Additionally, McCain wasn't sure how to respond to questions about insurance companies covering Viagra, but not birth control (Watch it here). 

This is a huge issue, both economically and socially.  Birth control is expensive.  Even with health insurance, it can cost over $180 a year.  And without health insurance, you're looking at anywhere from $500 to more that $1200 a year.  That's ridiculous.  Especially for a young woman trying to make responsible decisions with her life - ie: not getting pregnant while in college.  The thought of non-coverage worries me greatly, just as much as abortion views worries right-wing voters.
