If it's more than zero, then it's one too many.
I guess you get what you dish out, eh?This a lot blather meaning absolutely nothing.
Is working and supporting a family considered a luxury, too? 45% of all households are headed by women who are the breadwinners.For the vast majority of women, birth control is not a necessity to ensure life, limb, and livelihood. It is a luxury.
I could argue the same about Viagra and host of other male enhancement drugs. Men wouldn't need them if they just wore boxers. But if women abstained from having sex except to have children men wouldn't need enhancement drugs at all.They could get the same results just as easily simply by abstaining from sexual activity.
They'd still need a job in order to pay for it. Employees will often stay at a low paying job if it offers health insurance. So one could say that employees are paying for their health insurance with their labor.If they want birth control, they can pay for it themselves.
Your statement is bull****, it's untrue. Hobby Lobby employees will be able to get 12 kinds of contraception.
Barrack Obama cancelled provisions of Obamacare with a wave of the hand while this decision went through the courts. Therefore it has a great deal more legitimacy than whatever Obama's additions and subtractions, post-Congress, might have.How many of the HL employees are poor? How many demanded these 4 drugs? If there is no data on that, we're discussing something that neither one of us knows about.
The requirement of providing abortion-causing birth control violated the RFRA which is a law that has existed since 1993. If that's a bad law, then change it. The ACLU was one of the biggest advocates of the RFRA when Clinton signed it into law in 1993. The decision was very black and white here.
Maybe its time to make abortion illegal. In fact I would take it a step further and make abortion felony murder.
Serious question ... why not?
I just find it amusing that contraceptives fall, for the Administration at least, into the category of "disease prevention". A little top heavy with the radical feminists, perhaps?
There are all kinds of medications that prevent missing work due to all kinds of problems. Anti-diarrheal medications, or anti-migraine medications, for example. But none of them are free. You have to pay a co-pay for all of them.
No, the only reason contraceptives were free was because the Administration deemed them disease preventatives. And that, I suspect, was mostly for political, "we're your good buddies, honey pie," sort of pandering.
Planned Parenthood can accommodate you and your IUD.
Women's healthcare? Oh, you mean abortion. Not healthcare.
Because men don't get abortions.
But you do raise an obvious point ... are you and the Democrats waging a War On Religion?
I mean, there is a Law & a Constitution protecting Religious Rights and everything.
Pretty bold of you.
No, it is not simply believing that seeing a doctor isn't necessary. They believed it is a form of sin that causes disease, and that seeing a doctor circumvents god's plan. Wriggle wriggle wriggle. Is that wriggling I hear going on?
Nevertheless, I believe that a private business (not publicly traded) should be allowed even this religious freedom. I stand on principle, unlike conservatives who try to disingenuously limit the meaning of this SCOTUS decision. Conservatives like to apply the law where they like its consequences and not where they don't.
I think that even the most hard core pro-choice people would like to see as few abortions as possible. It starts will education and making birth control more available. Abortion is an extreme choice that should really be a last resort, not a primary choice.
No wiggling. It's not the same argument and you don't have to worry about the slippery slope on that. I'm surprised at how hard it is for liberals to comprehend this decision.
More than a few Protestant sects are against all birth control, The Eastern Orthodox Church is as well as the Amish communities. I dated a girl briefly in High School who was pentecostal and was taught by her church that every sperm was sacred. I attended her church with her once and the minister/preacher gave a speech about the evils of masturbation. I dropped her like a hot skillet.
I love how Hobby Lobby says it goes against their religious beliefs to "PAY" for contraceptive, but they have no issue buying products from a country that supports abortion.
Yeah, their soooooo religious alright. :roll:
For the vast majority of women birth control is the very essence of liberty and the great societal equalizer. Birth control allows women to participate equally in the economy and society. It gives them control over their own lives and destiny...aka 'individual liberty'.

Has anyone said that yet?This decision will lead to rusty coat hangers in back alleys.

What is different about the argument? And... I am not worried about the slippery slope.
Oh, I know that among the multitude of various sects some would cling to the Catholic views on birth control. I'm just saying they're the exception rather than the rule.
Conservative Supreme Court Majority Prevails In Two Key Cases [UPDATE: Is Hobby Lobby So Narrow As To Be "Meaningless"?] | Power LineA meaningless decision. The less restrictive alternative that the majority settled on is a certification by Hobby Lobby that it opposes contraceptive coverage, after which the insurance company must provide that coverage for free. Meaning that the premium charged to Hobby Lobby will necessarily include the cost of the free contraception. All smoke and mirrors.
Are Republicans trying to blur the line between corporate profits and religion?Because that's what it looks like.There's that War On Religion I was asking about
Does anyone who doesn't own a company benefit from this decision?Why, yes ... yes they do ... anyone and everyone who has been alarmed by big Government overreach by unelected bureaucrats and elected radical leftists.
They see this as a small retrenchment of the perfidy brought to us by the Democrat Party.
For those who don't recognize it, they most likely ARE the Democrat Party.
Yeah you men all sure know what's best for usirresponsible sexpotswomen.
Goodness what I hear from a number of my female friends, relatives, coworkers, or even vague acquaintances about how their male partner does not want anything to do with feeding, changing, getting up at night, or even holding the baby it's kind of weird how they are so adamant about limiting birth control. For the most part they seem to want nothing to do with the actual baby, but yet fight to the end to prevent affordable access to good birth control. It's kind of strange actually. Now I am not saying all men are not helpful with babies, but in my experiences very few are.
