Quote of the Day, health care mandate edition

This about sums up the whole "Insurance should provide free contraception" issue:
Thinking about it, why do I have to pay rent? Shouldn’t that be covered by my insurance? What kind of straits would my health be in if I were exposed to the elements all the time?
If avoiding the costs associated with pregnancy is a key benefit of the mandate, isn't that dwarfed by saving the costs associated with frostbite amputations and pneumonia?

If you want to pursue that line of reasoning to the bitter end, then the pro-abortion folks have it right: we can avoid the entire issue of life's complications and dangers by preventing birth.

Voila! everything goes away.
