Do you think old rich men have the right to dictate what a women does to her body?
This includes religious groups too.

Do you believe that women's groups should have the right to impede or protest male contraceptives?
Do you think that if women's bodies are their own business they should fund their own health care and not consume 75% of what is paid for by men and women?

@HazPassportForYourGalaxy not sure that's the best argument, certainly not without context.
Yes in some age brackets the difference between healthcare spending between men and woman, I.e.20s-40s os statistically significant. But other age groups, the difference isn't significant
Women in some ages will of course cost the system more. They're the ones having babies. Generally women live longer too, so they need the system longer than men.
Social differences too- plenty of evidence to support men's general (not all men) reluctance to go to a Dr / hospital when they should, either chronic illnesses or acute.
Not looking for a fight, just trying to provide some context to what is not a black and white statement

@HazPassportForYourGalaxy I appreciate your playing devils advocate, it makes people have to think.

@SAWYERandPYE Thank you I appreciate the courteous replies from you and Salix. I just think the issue is more complicated than what is presented as easily digestible and there should be some practice what you preach too.
Way too many women's chat shows gleefully exclaiming men don't need birth control women have control... Also feminist protests of anyone attempting to develop male contraceptives with vocal protests. IE Women feeling entitled to control men's bodies. Same with circumcision to a lesser extent.
So maybe that whole saw cuts both ways and we should pay for what we want control of.

@HazPassportForYourGalaxy Why would women interfere with male contraception ? Do you have any links ?
