Court majority harshly critical of Obamacare contraception mandate - CNN

Quote:
The court is reviewing provisions of the Affordable Care Act requiring for-profit employers of a certain size to offer insurance benefits for birth control and other reproductive health services without a co-pay.

At issue is whether certain companies can refuse to do so on the sincere claim it would violate their owners' long-established personal beliefs.
The problem as I see it. like many religious beliefs this one is something demonstrably false. They believe the IUD and morning after pills are abortifacants. They are not. But it IS a sincere religious belief.

For balance....

Barbara Boxer: Why no Viagra complaints? - Politico

Quote:
“I have never heard Hobby Lobby or any other corporation, I could be wrong, or any other boss complain that Viagra is covered in many insurance plans, practically all of them, or other kinds of things, you know, for men, which I won’t go into
Like penis pumps?

Samantha Bee Finds Out Medicare Funds Penis Pumps - Huffington Post.

Quote:
As NARAL president Ilyse Hogue explained to Bee during the segment, Medicare has spent $172 million on penis pumps over the last five years, and no one seems to have a problem with that.

Pretty sure the vagina is for baby making and any attempt at using it for fun is against religious beliefs.

Government should pay for abortions also why not. I've already proven I'm not responsible enough to keep from getting pregnant.

Maybe you should become a leftist, learn some actual responsibility and pushing for contraception coverage to keep women from getting pregnant.

Can't pray to god for everything and hope everything turns out alright. That's irresponsible.

And why would I want to get to work on time when I can just take my car.

I find that when you have to pretend to be stupid to convince yourself that you have a legitimate point to make, you should just give up.

Point the only point is I'm going to sleep with as many men as possible then blame someone else for getting pregnant.

All I'm going to say (and I know that I've said this umpteen times now) is that there are non-contraceptive purposes for birth control.

Regulation of irregular/heavy menstruation. (Anemia falls in there!)

Endometriosis.

Ovarian cancer/cysts and uterine cancer.

Don't forget y'all. Penis Pumps and Viagra are covered under Medicare; cause old impotent men matter more than anything else.

Better question, why doesn't everyone have fone on block?

Hobby Lobby's argument seems so tenuous that I'm not even sure how this made it all the way to SCOTUS. On the other hand, it's another way to expand corporate rights so I guess there's my answer.

Probably by using the same shady lawyer logic a'la the 14th amendment, that allowed corporations to be recognized as an individual.

You just have the understand the conservative mind.

It's not that conservatives are against abortion or contraception, it's that they're against anything and everything that allows women to have sex without the consequence of bearing a child. That's why they rally against the 'abortion pill' when it doesn't do anything like what they think it does.

If they were really just against abortion, they would throw all their support towards contraception because it's the best way to lower abortion rates.

Glad I'm told what to think by liberals. It is nice not having to have an opinion.


I mean everyone knows every conservative is anti women.

They are always told what to think, it is second nature to them.

They are amazed (and jealous) at the ability to think for oneself, but they were told not to like it, so they don't.

Well, long as you're taking cues from liberals, here's another one that will come in handy for the future.

Stop Praying For Rain

Properly fund the fire department like you're supposed to and maybe they can do their job.

Those conservatives (mostly) are the ones that seem to be cool with medicare allowing old impotent men to get laid for free/reduced cost. But god forbid a woman want to do the same!

Not to mention for the other non-contraceptive reasons that are vastly more viable reasons for health care coverage then viagra and penis pumps will ever be.
