    Got quiet in here after that last post...

    Via the Archdiocese of St. Louis:



    Yep, it's that simple.

    Hello again, Steve:

    Why would a woman ask her Catholic employer to pay for her birth control?? Because, in THIS country, employers aren't allowed to discriminate against women..

    It's that simple.

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...

    That still trumps your faux outrage.

    I was a young mother (on birth control) who had considered applying for a job teaching at the local Catholic school. I would have expected the health insurance plan to cover my prescription, just as the Lutheran health insurance plan did.

    Nobody is stopping religions from praticing whatever, but when it comes to personal issues of health and family, keep your nose out of what people have a right to do for themselves that's legal, and lawful.

    You cross a line when you tell business what they can sell or what people can buy.

    Your judicial history seems to show that it isn't simple. If anything it seems to be complex. Hence the unfortunate state of affairs you find yourselves in at the moment.

    The only one interfering in anything is the Obama administration.

    "No state shall.......... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

    I'm not sure which part of the Constitution trumps the other.

    Only in the mind of libs does anyone have a RIGHT to contraceptives. Please show us how contraceptives are a human right.

    Not a HUMAN right.. The Constitution doesn't cover those.. But, I SHOWED you where they have a Constitutional right to them... Let me explain...

    Contraceptives are an integral part of a woman's health care.. If a company, or church is going to COVER men's health care, then the Constitution says they must COVER women's health care.

    It's that simple.

    Yes that's true, but not all rights recognized in you country are human rights.

    As if they don't already?? I can assure you their plan denies contraceptives for both men and women. Doesn't get any more equal than that.

    That would be true, if you pretend that men and women have the same health needs. Fortunately, the Constitution is not so blind.

    And I don't believe anyone is complaining about covering contraceptives if medically necessary. But you want to go beyond 'needs' into violating religious freedom.

    That's a good argument. If you didn't need a doctors prescription to get them, and didn't have to purchase them from a pharmacy, I could buy it.

    How does it violate YOUR religious freedom to provide for females health needs? That's up to her doctor, and none of your, or the churches, business.

    As opposed to the phony arguments used to justify this whole whole sham, expanding access even though access wasn't an issue according to the CDC, and that it cost some idiot $3,000 a year because she'd never heard of Target or generics?

    Don't shoot the messenger.

    I see you ignored my argument... Since you need a doctors appointment to get them, AND a prescription, AND follow-up examinations, AND you can only buy them from a pharmacy, it LOOKS pretty medically necessary to ME.

    Do you OBJECT to the advertisement for drugs on television?? If they were ACTUALLY medically necessary, the ads wouldn't end with, "ask your doctor". I'll betcha THOSE drugs, scooters, catheters, and diabetic testing supplies, ARE covered.
