I honestly don't see what's so terrible about the article. It's not like you'll be arrested if you don't take supplements. The problem is that the US has one of the worst infant mortality rates in the first world; this is just a way to reduce it without shelling out for universal healthcare.
And for everyone reading this, no matter how healthy you think you are, that doesn't necessarily mean your body is going to be able to handle an accidental pregnancy. I have a friend who is wheelchair bound simply because his mother didn't get enough folic acid in the first few weeks of his gestation.
