Jindal: Eliminate Prescription Requirement for Birth Control

And everything else?

|


Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is calling for over-the-counter, oral contraception sales, arguing that such a move would take a potent political issue away from Democrats.

"As a conservative Republican, I believe that we have been stupid to let the Democrats demagogue the contraceptives issue and pretend, during debates about health care insurance, that Republicans are somehow against birth control," Jindal wrote in The Wall Street Journal. "It's a disingenuous political argument they make."
