U.S. top court rules for companies on birth control mandate

This is the same crowd that bytches and moans about WIC and other welfare for poor children.

Yea, that's a radical standpoint that I don't like from the Repubs. They tend to have radical standpoints until it's their family that's effected (i.e. Gay rights, privacy issues, etc.).

stop

religious grounds

As a Democrat I have no problem with this decision. In honesty, this mandate should not have been in the bill in the first place. If you’re gonna be out here fukking, don’t ask someone else to pay for your birth control meds. It’s called personal responsibility, especially if you’re out here raw dogging, go half on the day-after meds. It's like $50 dollars.

If it's rape, then yes cover that cost.

What in the hell?

What makes birth control different from paying for asthma medicine, Viagra, etc

 

[CrimsonTider]

This shyt makes no sense

Employees getting pregnant make cost companies a lot of money and efficiency

They need to stop saying religious freedom and say Christian freedom. If that was a Muslim or Mormon owned store this wouldn't have happened.

I agree to an extent that Christianity is the dominant morality among the people that create and refine policies in the US but . We feel that shyt out west, heavily.

It's too easy to not get pregnant these days. Government shouldn't have to cover birth control but considering they are obligated to have our welfare in mind, I think an age provision is appropriate. 25 is plenty of time to learn and get to a place where you can adequately deal with something as serious as terminating a pregnancy.

But condoms are so readily available that this really isn't even necessary. I will say that this sets an unsettling precedent for openly agnostic folks like myself.

I wonder if they will refuse to cover a woman who gets pregnant out of wedlock...that would fly in the face of their religious beliefs too I would assume.

They are going to use the Religious Freedoms Act for more than just contraception and healthcare...

You can use this reasoning for literally any drug. Why expect companies to pay for your high blood pressure meds you fat, lazy fukks? High cholesterol, need a statin? Slow down on the shrimp and butter!

Some people actually use BC as preventative meds as well. It's not just for irresponsible people fukking .

Yeah as a Dem I'm not too mad at this decision.

I'm hesitant to call you guys dumb, but your points of view are absolutely stupid. I have absolutely no problem with you as posters, but you epitomize what I hate about humans.

Birth control isn't just used for women to prevent child birth, its also used to regulate their menstrual cycle. It's amazing how LITTLE men know about women on this site. It's even more amazing that you guys have this OPINION because i'm 100% sure everyone who agrees with this ruling has the same OPINION.

Hobby Lobby is a privately held, for-profit corporation with 13,000 employees. It's owned by a trust managed by the Green family, devout Christians who run the company based on biblical principles. They close their stores on Sundays, start staff meetings with Bible readings, pay above minimum wage, and use a Christian-based mediation practice to resolve employee disputes. The Greens are even attempting to build a Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC.

The Greens contend that the ACA's requirement that health insurance plans cover contraception will force them to choose between violating their religious beliefs or suffer huge financial penalties for violating the law. They don't object to covering all contraception, only the emergency contraceptive pills Plan B and Ella and intrauterine devices (IUDs), which they (erroneously) believe are abortifacients. But the Greens aren't the ones who'd be providing the health insurance with contraceptive coverage. Their corporation, Hobby Lobby, would be.

Take for instance Hobby Lobby's argument that providing coverage for Plan B and Ella substantially limits its religious freedom. The company admits in its complaint that until it considered filing the suit in 2012, its generous health insurance plan actually covered Plan B and Ella (though not IUDs). The burden of this coverage was apparently so insignificant that God, and Hobby Lobby executives, never noticed it until the mandate became a political issue.

The company argues that emergency contraception pills, such as Ella and Plan B, destroy fertilized eggs by interfering with implantation in the uterus. Hobby Lobby's owners consider this abortion. But the pills don't work that way. When Plan B first came on the market in 1999, its mechanism for preventing unplanned pregnancies wasn't entirely clear. That's why the FDA-approved labeling reflected some uncertainty and said that the pills "theoretically" prevent pregnancy by interfering with implantation. Since then, though, there has been a lot of research on how these pills work, and the findings are definitive: They prevent pregnancy by blocking ovulation. In fact, they don't work once ovulation has occurred. As Corbin recently wrote in a law review article, "Every reputable scientific study to examine Plan B's mechanism has concluded that these pills prevent fertilization from occurring in the first place…In short, Plan B is contraception."

Labels on these products have been updated in Europe to reflect the science, and the Catholic Church in Germany dropped its opposition to local Catholic hospitals providing emergency contraception to rape victims after reviewing the evidence.

Adolescent girls and young women are frequently prescribed birth control pills (also called oral contraceptive pills, hormonal pills, or simply “the Pill”) for irregular menstrual periods, menstrual cramps, acne, PMS, endometriosis, and hormone replacement therapy. For example, girls diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) - a hormone imbalance which causes irregular menstrual periods, acne, and excess hair growth, are prescribed birth control pills to lower their hormone levels (to the normal range) and regulate menstrual periods. Girls with acne that is not responding to simple measures are often prescribed birth control pills. Girls whose ovaries are not producing enough estrogen (because of anorexia nervosa, excessive exercise, or damage to the ovaries from radiation or chemotherapy) often take birth control pills to replace estrogen. Girls with endometriosis are also often prescribed birth control pills, in cycles or continuously, to suppress the condition. And last but not least, birth control pills are used for birth control. This guide also applies to concerns and benefits of the contraceptive patch and the ring.

fukk. fukk you guys have such dumb opinions.

I'm not dumb enough to go out without protection. And plenty of women are against birth control for non religious reasons. Why is it dumb to pay for what you do to your body out of your own pocket?

 

[ill]

Are they banning Plan B or BC?

And here we go with the butthurt motherfukkers with nothing to say besides I'm stupid for being ok with the law. Explain why I'm dumb .
