The GOP really loves their women

I guess I just fall on the side of individual responsibility and think it would be incumbent on the individual to make the right decisions. 

Others think the government should make these decisions for you. What happened to her body, her choice? 

You're putting more into it than there is. First off, the state doesn't make a choice or a decision for anyone here. It provides help and, as I said, a responsibility enablement tool, that's all.
I do not think "free stuff" is, per se, evil and leads to dependence. Could be, but not in this case.
The other thing is, it's not how government regards women. It's more about society and what's best for it. Teen pregnancies are not "good" for a society, and especially young people could use some information and also, yes, some support - for me that's really all there is to it. PP helps with that. Whatever else you see in that, I do not. 

Finally, a part of me just doesn't believe you. You want PP gone because of conservatice standpoints, say because of abortions. And not because you're a fighter of individual responsibility or of women's independence (for that's something you would willingly want to deny women who want to terminate pregnancy). And fair enough, but I'd say don't pretend.
