Pay for your own unhealthy lifestyle

Regarding “Birth control provides many health benefits,” Jan. 27 letter. So birth control reduces the risk of cervical cancer, maternal and infant mortality, symptoms of endometriosis and unintended pregnancies?
It's difficult to justify that insurance without co-pay must cover unhealthy lifestyles. It is high time women take responsibility for their actions. Why should your unhealthy lifestyle have to be paid for by us innocent people? Could some religion possibly hurt? Immorality has to be stopped somewhere; pay for your own indiscretions.
