If 'free' contraceptives are that important to a person couldn't said person change jobs and work for a company that provides such?

Doesn't this also apply to any of the other outlandish claims being bandied about? (Burkas!)

You do realize that...

The Green family has no moral objection to the use of 16 of 20 preventive contraceptives required in the mandate, and Hobby Lobby will continue its longstanding practice of covering these preventive contraceptives for its employees.


...right?

Ruling had nothing to do with Birth control pills, that didn't change at all....

This ruling just prevented the private business owners from funding the killing of babies by their own hand, not really about BCP's.

One would think. However, "thinking" appears to be a novel concept for progs. Or, and I know this might be a bit extreme, if contraceptives were so important couldn't those in "need" just allocate some of their earnings each month to pay for the contraceptives. For instance, I enjoy the benefits of electricity. Unfortunately, my employer's benefit package does not provide home electricity coverage. Thus, I am forced to set aside some of my income each month to pay the bill.

I didn't mention BCPs in my OP?

Isn't the 'morning after pill' considered a form of birth control?

I'm not aware of any cases of anyone being forced to labor against their wishes. Can you cite examples?

My company doesn't provide free deodorant, soap or toothpaste. Maybe I should look for another job?!

Somewhere along the way people started believing that if they "wanted" something or thought they "needed" something it became a "right".

Sad really.

Certainly, and some companies might give use the fact that they give coverage to their advantage when hiring.

It's the American way to let people and businesses choose what is best for them and not force fit one size fits all down everyone's throat.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I use a the same argument when it come to smoking in public places. I'm always told that I'm wrong. Apparently people don't have a choise about where they go or where they work.
