OOPS: Evangelical College Discovers It Inadvertently Provided Contraception Coverage (Obama, insurance, school)

[sickofnyc]

An Obamacare provision that requires employer-based insurers to cover birth control took effect this week, allowing millions of women to access contraception without a co-pay. Wheaton College, a prominent evangelical school, recently joined several religious institutions in a lawsuit fighting the rule.

But as it turns out, Wheaton “inadvertently” covered emergency contraceptive before it invoked the religious freedom argument against Obamacare and managed to drop the provision from its insurance plans in April, well after the uproar began. The Huffington Post reports that Wheaton “tried to scramble to get rid of that coverage in order to qualify” for a one-year exemption for religious institutions.

They jumped on the bandwagon without even being informed about what thie insurance acually covered? Where was their public outrage prior to The Affordable Care Act going into effect?

The thread subject is hypocrisy within the Evangelical community, not birth control. Start your own thread.

Cool out, I was being sarcastic. I mean, you really expect logic from people who believe in angels and fairies and such?

I doubt if any of these religious organizations knew what was included in their health plan before the Georgetown controversy. They may now burn in hell for allowing contraception.

Got it, but you have to admit, your response is one that pops up from the far right every time the subject is mentioned.

Apparently the issue wasn't that important for this evangelical college to check into it before a black man suggested birth control be covered.

The fact is this is a manufactured issue.

"suggested". Is that like his ads saying that he'll "ask" the rich to pay a little more?

Those employees who don't want to have birth control, don't have to take it. Why should a religion dictate to others?
