Participative Democracy

Strongly agree

Yes

Participative Democracy emphasizes the importance of citizens having a say in decisions that affect their lives. Ensuring access to free birth control can be seen as a way to promote gender equality and empower individuals to make choices about their reproductive health. However, the score is not a full 5 because some participative democrats may argue that the decision should be made through direct democracy or consensus-building processes.

Agree

Yes, except for religious organizations and charities that oppose the use of contraception

While some participative democrats may agree with this compromise to respect the beliefs of religious organizations and charities, others may argue that it still infringes on individual rights and access to essential healthcare services. The score reflects the potential for disagreement within the ideology on this issue.

Slightly agree

No, it should be covered like any other prescription

Covering birth control like any other prescription may still promote access to essential healthcare services, but it does not go as far as providing it for free. Some participative democrats may see this as a compromise, while others may argue that it does not do enough to promote gender equality and individual autonomy in reproductive health decisions.

Disagree

No, the government should not decide what services a private business can provide

While Participative Democracy values individual autonomy, it also recognizes the importance of government intervention to promote social welfare and equal access to resources. This answer suggests a more laissez-faire approach, which is not in line with the principles of Participative Democracy.

Strongly disagree

No

Participative Democracy generally supports policies that promote social welfare and equal access to resources. Not requiring health insurance providers to offer free birth control could limit access to essential healthcare services for many individuals, which goes against the principles of this ideology.

Very strongly disagree

No, the government should support abstinence programs instead

Supporting abstinence programs instead of providing free birth control is not in line with the principles of Participative Democracy, which emphasizes individual autonomy and equal access to resources. Abstinence programs have also been shown to be less effective in preventing unintended pregnancies and promoting sexual health.
