Someone started a rumor last decade that a large portion of health insurers cover Viagra but not birth control. It's not true.

I'm not sure that state laws mandating specific corporate policy make a good basis for defending corporate policies.

That said, even if it were true, I am not sure it's really that objectionable. Viagra is intended to treat a dysfunction of the body, whereas birth control is intended to prevent a function of the body; they're not comparable in kind, even if they both enable the same behaviors.
