Great sentence from Matthew Yglesias

The social convention that birth control is the financial responsibility of the female member of a heterosexual couple has long been problematic, and classifying family planning as a preventive health service will in effect do away with it.

He said it here.

It’s about the recently-passed Affordable Care Act, which despite the major disappointments of the Bart Stupak debacle and the lack of a public option looks like it’s going to start treating contraception as medical care instead of ZOMG!!!TEH!!!SEX!!!

Anyway, I just excerpted one good sentence. The rest of his analysis, including his remarks on the difference between how men and women categorize family planing, is also good.
