Medication treating male impotence is widely available, and the meme is correct. At the click of a button, Viagra can be delivered to your door for free.

The Viagra website offers the service to men with a valid Viagra prescription, offering discreet home delivery that is “convenient” and “private.” It's a convenience less available for women in the U.S., where it is often more difficult to get medically necessary contraception covered by health insurance, let alone hand-delivered on their doorstep, compared to the advertised male impotence medication.

In addition to preventing pregnancy, hormonal methods of birth control that prevent ovulation in women have many medical uses. Medical conditions specifically treated by birth control pills include polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, lack of periods, menstrual cramps, pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS) and heavy menstrual period.

The 2014 landmark ruling Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby exemplified this double-standard when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that for-profit corporations with religious owners are not required to pay insurance coverage that includes contraception. Hobby Lobby has no objection to covering Viagra and vasectomies, however, and today, are not required to cover female contraception on insurance provided to their employees.
