Yes, but I'm surprised the insurance companies don't do it anyway. It's a hell of a lot cheaper to pay for birth control than for a typical pregnancy and delivery. Insurance companies are all about the bottom line.

Of course, using your logic, insurance shouldn't cover pre-natal visits or childbirth, since they are elective too.
