Regardless of what you think about this decision, one thing is certain..........it will be an albatross around the neck of Republicans just like same sex marriage.

So do you pay for your injuries out of pocket or not? Have any kids? Pay for their birth yourself? Why should I have to pay for your choice to reproduce? Oops, you fell on your naked wife! Why is that my problem?

Eat too much bacon and need a triple bypass? Pay for it yourself goddammit!

Sex is a healthy and integral part of being human. It's no different to any other activity people undertake to keep themselves sane and whole. I pay for all sorts of things people engage in on a daily basis. Probably stuff you've done to yourself by virtue of getting out of bed. Quit yer bitchin.
Excellent analysis! I certainly wish conservatives would START paying for more of their stuff.

Wait. Let these people mind their ****in business. How bout that?

This whole thing is absurd. The fact our supreme court looks at this stuff is really making me come close to tears.
Tell me, is it true that men need Viagra from their employer? It's covered.

Ya'll have pissed off women everywhere and that has crossed all party lines.

Thanks!

Most health plans include contraception as part of their plans, not much added expense to add the option but in the case of Hobby Lobby it's the thought that counts.

Hobby Lobby employees will continue to have sex but they will need to continue to pay for their transgressions.

Or they could use one of the other 16 methods that HL still supports.

Totally bogus argument. A business can't discriminate against people. If they offer something to one employee in the same position, the same benefits should be available for all.

So what if a start working for a company owned by one of these nutters who doesn't believe in getting medical treatment.... at all???

Then you would do like many others who work for companies that don't offer health insurance, purchase it yourself.
