But your side has issues with that, a conservative woman isn't really a woman, a conservative black isn't really black, and apparently some contraceptives aren't really contraceptives.

    Nothing you've said changes the meaning of contraceptive use being "virtually universal."

    Hello again, tom:

    You have the right to CHANGE the law through the legislative process. You DON'T have the right to pass laws that INTERFERE with SUPERIOR laws. That is just SO. THOSE laws are ALL UNCONSTITUTIONAL...

    For example, there's some NEW anti abortion laws dealing with the physical parameters of the building.. The INTENT of those laws is to INTERFERE with a women's RIGHTS. It's NOT about buildings.

    That isn't how we do things in this great land of ours.. In fact, those actions are UNCONSTITUTIONAL actions. Just like you're chipping away at the Civil Rights Act with voter suppression laws is UNCONSTITUTIONAL...

    Law and order party... Yeah, right.

    I knew it, you think your rights are superior to a woman's rights. That's not so, sorry. The church is not the law, nor are your beliefs. Neither should be imposing their BELIEFS on others who have different beliefs.

    We all have a right to practice our beliefs within the law. Women have a right to abortions, and insurance companies must provide contraceptives to those they cover. That's the law. And it was ruled constitutional despite your beliefs that it isn't.

    You don't believe in contraceptives, then don't use them. Don't stop me though because I do believe in them as a better choice than abortions. Now if giving up MY rights as a condition of employment for the church, then pay me and I will get my own insurance that meets MY needs. Of course the church would never do something so reasonable because they rather you do as they say according to THEIR beliefs.

    I don't believe the church or anyone's belief should be above the law. Especially when they disregard my rights under the law. That's religious OVER REACH in my book. How is that okay?

    I've never seen such convoluted thinking, Tal, not to mention outright fantasy. It's as simple as this, I have a constitutional right to religious freedom.

    The government is not a god, just a vehicle to write and apply the laws equally and protect ALL its citizens no matter what individual beliefs they have or don't have.

    The law applies to employers with 50 employees. The church does take out payroll taxes don't they?? Stop crying until the exemption language comes out. Since you believe any bodies rights except yours and your church is a fantasy.

    Fact is free contraceptives is a benefit of the insurance policy you have. The insurance policy is a benefit in place of cash/salary. Just saying.

    So back to square one, you must also agree now that the constitution is ABOVE the mandate now that I've reminded you that the courts are requiring the administration to codify the exemptions as opposed to promising with their fingers crossed.

    I know they aren't. I mentioned it because unless you're a church (who has the exemption) you face a losing battle. That's why I wished you 'good luck' in your venture.

    Dominos isn't involved as the former owner is suing on behalf of his new buiness, real estate development.

    Quote:

    That confusion led the current Domino's owners to release a statement declaring that the company “has never supported organizations on either side of the reproductive rights issue. The corporation and its 1,825 independent franchise owners across the world have one goal: to sell pizzas and grow our market share.”
    Get your facts straight. And to be clear the injunction is temporary pending a final ruling. It delays the inevitable, for profit businesses must obey the law. The mandate has already been ruled constitutional so good luck trying to overturn it.
