This logic is flawed. If women have unwanted pregnancies & have no access to abortions, we will have more single moms on welfare or a bunch of babies being put up for adoption. That’s a bigger strain on the economy. I don’t think they thought this through. Babies are expensive.

The Republicans dont use logic, and they don't care.

They’re going to care when it starts to affect them directly. Best karma: Scott Walker not being able to ask for a recount because of a law he wrote.

Want to know what OTHER care employers don't have to cover, based on their 'moral' views? Just the ones that affect women?

There's only one rational explanation as to why Republicans work so hard to limit access to birth control; it's because they love abortion. When birth control is harder to get, unplanned pregnancies increase, and without abortion to campaign on, the GOP ceases to exist.
-
It's the one rational explanation? Ever heard of religious freedom? I'm not discussing the merits of either position, but religious freedom is their rationale for this move.
-
Religious freedom does not extend to denying other people medical care, or to violating non-discrimination laws. This isn't about "religious freedom". This is Trump + Pence being authoritarian misogynists. Do not try to defend or excuse them.

Abortion does not involve babies. It involves zygotes, embryos, and fetuses. If a fetus can survive to become a baby and a pregnancy has to be terminated, standard-of-care is _delivery_ and not abortion. Stop lying about abortion.
-
And stop denying the right to autonomy of person. You do not get to force anyone to remain pregnant for the same reason you cannot be forced to donate blood, or bone marrow, or a kidney. Not even if another person dies as a result of your not donating.
-
Finally: If you want there to be fewer abortions, then _oppose what Trump + Pence are trying to do_. Ensuring people of all genders have access to effective contraception prevents abortions.

The numbers coming into the US via illegal immigration would be dwarfed by the number of additional children born to poor Americans if birth control and abortion were outlawed. Sex is a biological imperative; people will not stop having it simply because you tell them to stop.

Just go and buy condoms. Sex is private fun.

"You HAVE to pay for my birth control, but you're NOT allowed to tell me what kind I get!" The level of entitlement in this line of thinking is that of a 15 year old.

Liberty has long been understood as individual freedom from governmental action, not as a right to a particular governmental entitlement. Again, you are the American Civil LIBERTIES Union. Why are you advocating for Planned Parenthood?
