No, it's a great argument because it disproves your claim "One can easily access hormonal Rx birthconrtol online". It seems you have a new claim that this doesn't matter because they likely qualify for free or reduced healthcare. I don't find that very convincing. "Likely" isn't enough here and a doctor's appointment, even for free or reduced cost, is still a significant burden.

No, the point is that you can get birthcontrol online using Medicaid or insurance without needing a bank account.
'"Likely" isn't enough here'
Why wouldn't it be - just because you say so? Keep in mind the alternative is that they make too much to qualify, which gives them other options.
Keep in mind your definition of unbanked is only about checking and savings accounts. It has nothing covering credit cards or prepaid cards, which are also options. So saying people are unbanked and would likely be burdened isn't enough.
