Some teenagers don't use contraception as often as they should because it is "too expensive". Now, let's be clear. The generic pill is in fact very cheap. Like $10 a month. However, some women might have medical reasons that prevent them from using the generic formula/pill and thus need to rely on more expensive alternatives like those vaginal rings which I think can cost over $60-$80 a month.

That being said, it still shouldn't come out to thousands of dollars if I do my math correctly.

You expect young people to pay for their own stuff? Let them screw all day on free birth control and draw the line somewhere else that doesn't risk unwanted children being born.
