SCOTUS Rules employers do not have to provide contraception

[Denny Crane]

Why should Hobby Lobby....a fictional legal construct and not even a human being? You are granting a corporation power you admit neither government nor person should excercise.

Phooey. We are just going in circles at this point.

Hobby Lobby isn't and can't forbid its employees to use birth control.

 

[Denny Crane]

The court took away their coverage. And you know that some women are allergic to the pill and use an IUD which can cost up to $1,000. But the central issue here is principal and the precedent this sets. The total illogic of it and the abuse of judicial power. But anyway, we're just talking in circles here.

Boo fucking hoo, like I said.

$15 for a walk in clinic, $9/month for the pill.

I wonder if a corporation's health insurance program that employees 100s if not 1000s of females and no longer has to cover contraceptives like IUD, if the premiums drop. Because if they do and I own a corporation, I just became very religious.

Well I was raised catholic, but currently have my own personal faith . . .

But if I own a corporation and being religious saves me money . . . I convert

Wow, this guy is like a wind up doll, you've got nothing beyond your radio talk-show talking points do you? haha!

Hobby Horse should chuck their really good employee insurance and pay the much cheaper $2000 per employee penalty. Then all those people can have shitty ObamaCare plans with $5000 deductibles.

You're as wrong about my listening to talk radio (I don't at all) as you are about this decision.

Mother Jones has got it wrong. Scotus hasn't changed their effective ruling one iota.

It is ordering lower courts to rehear cases that may fall under this ruling.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Capitalism is a religion of intolerance and sociopathy... you could start there and see if it gives you enough extra rights.

I still see no answer as to why Hobby Lobby had no problem providing contraceptives in their health plan for years, until the Affordable Care Act. If Jesus hates birth control, doesn't he hate birth control when it's just corporate health care, too? Or does Jesus only hate Obamacare?

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And no one gets birth control from a horse of course
That is, of course, unless the horse is a real horse and not some creepy corporation.

Because they only object to contraceptives which they (likely erroneously) believe prevent post-fertilization implantation (which they equate to abortion), and (they claim) they were unaware that their employee health plan covered those four specific contraceptive methods.

Richard Kopf, who sits on the bench of the U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska, told the U.S. Supreme Court to “STFU” in a recent post on his personal blog, “Hercules and the Umpire.” So reports Business Insider.

The judge wrote that the Court is causing more division than necessary by deciding hot-button issues like the ones addressed in the Hobby Lobby decision, which created a wide exception to Obamacare’s contraception mandate.
