Maybe because once you are pregnant they figure having a baby is a necesity like OD said, but birth control and diet pills aren't? What kills me is that if diet pills do their job, they in theory should help people lose weight which would save insurance companies a ton of money in the long run with cardiovascular disease, cancer, etc.
