It can be Brit, for instance in the case of polycystic ovary syndrome. If you google Sandra Fluke and watch her actual testimony, you will see that this is primarily the example she gives as to why this type of medication should be covered.
Reproductive health medications are also relevant in the treatment of rape victims - should they be excluded in that case also?
My own personal opinion is with you - if the drug is being used for personal, choice-related purposes it should not be covered.
Equally, smokers and drinkers should be denied medical insurance if their ill health can be directly traced back to their lifestyle choices. Just as people who don't wear seatbelts don't deserve to be admitted to the trauma ward after being involved in an accident. That too is a personal choice with a negative outcome.
If we demand personal responsibility on the part of sexually active women, we ought to demand it from everyone else as well
