The following comes from a May 21 story on Christian News Service.
Vanessa Cullins, vice president for external medical affairs at Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said she hopes the future of health care under the Affordable Care Act includes more women using “long-acting” forms of birth control, including intrauterine devices that can cause a fertilized embryo to be aborted.
“Hopefully more women will have the opportunity to get the contraception that they want with no co-pay, and hopefully, we’ll see more women that are choosing long-acting forms of contraception,” Cullins said, adding that the long-acting birth control is better, because it does not require user compliance on a daily or monthly basis.
According to WebMD, the IUD can also be used as emergency contraception “if you have had unprotected sex in the past few days and need to avoid pregnancy” and plan to continue using the device.
Cullins, who is also an obstetrician-gynecologist, made the remarks at an event on Thursday at the Kaiser Family Foundation, which released a report it prepared examining women’s health care “in the early years of the Affordable Care Act.”
As one of the panelists discussing the findings of the report, Cullins called the ACA “an important law,” and answered the moderator’s question about what she thought health care would look like in the U.S. in four years.
In a 2011 op-ed in the New York Times, Cullins wrote about her “divorced mother of three” daughter and her complaints about the high cost of birth control and why she hoped under the Affordable Care Act all contraceptives would be available for free and without a co-pay….

There is another tragic aspect about this. Most abortions are now on African Americans. Before the 60’s, the Blacks were more moral than the rest of the population, as many authors have noted. But, with abortion and birth control, the Blacks are literally killing themselves off, as their percentage of the population decreases. All this shows how far we have fallen. America is no longer a Christian nation; it was never really Catholic, but now it is demonic as many of the Moslem nations have declared.
Why can’t those who wish to commit the Mortal Sin of contraception – pay for their own Mortal Sins?
Why do they expect everyone else to pay for their Mortal Sins through their taxes ?
Someone needs to forward this article to the dissident: LCWR, NETWORK, and Nuns on the Bus (all of which are related organizations).
They lied in their support of Obamacare, and against our Bishops.
All Faithful Orders of Nuns should have resigned from these organizations long ago.
O.k. so all women from teens on should be ready to have sex at any moment without any consequence, because there is no self control, no planing, no responsibility, no marriage. There is the consequence to the interior image and self worth, the effects of sin, and the danger of STD,s. “Today’s system of co-payments and deductibles for birth control compromises the health of families, wastes money and sends a terrible message to women like my daughter: when it comes to planning your family, you’re on your own,” Cullins wrote. “It’s time to change that.” No her daughter should have her faith, her spouse or partner, her mom. her doctor, but most importantly herself. Do women really want a government healthcare regulations to govern their lives? If you let them put in a long term contraception device who’s to say they will take it out when you want them to. Who would have thought that feminists would end up choosing the paternal government over self control and independence.
Father Karl…..the caucasian race is decreasing every year..abortion and birth control are the direct reasons….birth rate is approx. 1.3 per family…..Latino families birth rate is over 4.0…..
Contraception will first have to made a “right” before it can be made “an obligation”.
I think that we should mandate that a human being has a right to be conceived! How many souls has God chosen to send us but was never able to due to the contraception road blocks we have been putting in His path? Contraception is the sinister invention of the Devil. After all, the Devil hates human beings.
Walt, all the races of Americans whose families have lived in the United States for a couple of generations ARE decreasing. I wanted to point out that because of abortion (murder) and contraception, the percentage of Blacks is decreasing at a higher rate than that of Whites. The illegal aliens and lawful immigrants are keeping the population in a growth mode.
The long term hormonal implants will likely give you cancer. Perhaps you ladies may wonder why we have a breast cancer epidemic since the pill? Intrauterine devices are abortifacients of course, as they prevent implantation of the embryo. They cause pelvic infections causing for example blockage of the uterine tubes. American women will do almost anything to defend their right to free handouts from the federal government. Enjoy Obamacare.
Who am I to judge.
