I have no problem with contraception, but we should't be forced to provide it to anyone.
I don't either. And if a company wants to provide it to employees, it should be able to, in the same that it's able to offer them free donuts, chips, coffee and soda, or discounts to a gym, or a local restaurant or whathaveyou. I do have a problem with a company being
forced to provide such services to employees however.
let them skip insurance and we can just all pick up the bill the emergency room
False dichotomy. If the government wishes to cover
catastrophic care, then it can do so through existing mechanisms, such as Medicare. A program aimed at providing such coverage would almost certainly meet with much broader support. But the government doesn't wish to do that. It wishes to cover
everything and it wants to force health insurance down everyone's throat because of this "government knows best" mentality that has become prevalent.
Seriously though, what's a few pennies worth of contraception to this company. I'm sure the insurance companies would rather provided pennies worth of contraception than thousands of dollars worth of pre/post natal insurance + ongoing costs after that.
The pennies worth of contraception are not the relevant issue. Neither is the "pennies now, or thousands later" bit.
This entire "religious freedom" argument is nonsense anyway. Corporations can't have a religious point of view.
But the owners of that
privately held corporation can - and some do.
Maybe a Jewish owned corporation should look at this ruling and require all of their employees to stop eating pork.
The better analogy would be: "this corporation is privately held and the owners are Jewish and they should not be forced to provide bacon if they wish to give their employees free breakfast." But you wouldn't want to use the better analogy would you?
Same goes for Muslim owned corporations.
I agree: corporations that are privately held by Muslims should not be forced to provide bacon if they choose to offer breakfast.
I personally haven't followed any of these decisions. I've got better things to do with my time
In other words:
I don't know what the fuck is going on, and I don't want to know since I've got better things to do with my time, like make comments on this topic which I haven't followed and I know little about.
