The amount that the State of Colorado is saving more than makes up for the expenditure of providing birth control, I'm sure. The federal government benefits too. I think we should provide abortions as well, but that would be too controversial to pass. Maybe one day. But the federal government could give lots of money to Planned Parenthood so they could open more clinics and provide a variety of birth control methods. It would be great for women as well as the rest of the taxpayers.
