Re: SCOTUS BC/Hobby Lobby decision
The founding fathers are rolling in their graves at the way this court is treating the constitution. It's terrifying for me and I will be upping my donation to Planned Parenthood this year.
HL is a for-profit company who has invested its 401k heavily into these "abortion pill" companies. Their religion is money. The SC allowed bullshit science to be argued and then ruled based upon it. Preventing ovulation and/or implantation is not abortion.

How in the world is it okay to let one corporations religious beliefs dictate what their employees can do with their body? The FDA approved these drugs, people who pay for health insurance should have access to them just like every other covered drug.
This is a blatant violation of rights.

If this were Viagra we were talking about it would be a whole other conversation and that's the problem.

The reason they're fighting not covering this is because in their belief it is considered a baby at conception. By not allowing the fertilized egg to implant, you are killing that baby.

I posted this on FB earlier as a comment.
My issue with the ruling yesterday has mostly to do with where is the line? Where does it stop? What's to stop all the other companies who are not publically-held, but are considered closely-held and for-profit, to deny women access to birth control because one CEO doesn't agree with it? Women in general get the short end of the stick because we are still mostly seen in this day and age as the sum of our reproductive system. What about the women who are medically mandated to have birth control? What about the women who choose not to have a family? Those women have made an extremely brave choice considering how everyone STILL views a woman's worth.
Also, why is Viagra still covered? Men are always able to get their jimmies, but women can't protect themselves against something they either don't want or aren't ready for? If you ask me, men should be the ones who take a daily pill to make them unable to make a child.

Plan B delays ovulation based on more recent research into the mechanism. The label and idea that it prevents a fertilized egg from implanting is not evidence based.
In addition to women's rights and the slippery slope that i think this created I have an issue with a corporation being treated as a person.
To make you feel my love.
Here we go again. Beliefs are not facts. The fact is that a bundle of cells is not a person. Not allowing that bundle of cells to implant is not abortion. That's not my belief, it's science.
There are tons of religions that have beliefs that fly counter to science. For instance, Jehovah's witnesses don't "believe" in blood transfusions. Should companies run by JWs be allowed to exempt blood transfusions from insurance coverage?
According to this ruling, NO, b/c it only relates to this one exemption by this one family's religion. Not the religion as a whole, mind you, but this family's interpretation of the religion. I can't believe that people don't see how this is discriminatory.
This is the most appalling part to me. A corporation cannot have religious beliefs. It cannot be baptized, it cannot take communion, it cannot confess sins, etc. It's the slippery slope that was reopened by the Citizen's United decision.

What about people who can't find employment elsewhere? What if other companies follow suit? Apparently 90% of corporations are closely held. What if other procedures or medications aren't covered? Can something not be covered just based on a belief that it causes abortions or does it have to be based on facts? Could vaccines not be covered? Blood transfusions? Psychiatric medications? There are religions with objections to all of those.
To make you feel my love.
