Why would you want to limit the types or number of birth control options if the goal is to prevent unwanted pregnancy? It has nothing to do with making it convenient to have sex or not - it's not your business or mine to pass a moral judgement on someone's sexual behavior. It does become our business when unwanted pregnancies force women onto the WIC rolls, or if you're an anti-abortion advocate, as Hermann Cain is, into the abortion clinic. Defunding Planned Parenthood is about as stupid an idea as you can get, unless your goal is to increase the number of unwanted pregnancies in America.
As a taxpayer, would you rather pay a couple bucks now for birth control pills, or would you rather pay 18 years of WIC benefits, plus all of the other societal costs of children being raised by mothers who don't want them? (crime, poverty, etc etc) Planned Parenthood (a Republican idea I may add) is an investment that makes sense if you consider yourself any sort of fiscal conservative.
