Now how we handle the particulars of coverage has merit, but to demonize these women as harlots is a terrible strawman and reeks of mysoginy.

This has more to do with women having sex than it ever did with the validity and cost effective measures of the pill. It's a puritanical, knee jerk reaction.
I didn't know that Viagra was covered by insurance. If I was running an insurance company I wouldn't cover it. But your argument is sadly moot. The insurance companies are not being forced by the government to cover viagra there is no mandate requiring it. They are doing it of their own volition. The issue here is that organizations are being forced to provide birth control. It is not whether it is more valid than other things it is simply because they are being forced too. PLus many insurance companies will cover birth control if it is for medical reasons so also moot.
