Another Company Is Staging A Hobby Lobby-Esque Birth Control Fight

[AvgGuyIA]

This is what the anti-choice pro-birth zealots really want - ban all forms of birth control.

Nope, birth control is a good thing. Your boss just shouldn't have to pay for it if they don't believe in it.

i dont believe in cancer..

Cancer can't grow to become a living, human baby. Does that shed some light on it?

Excellent point.

That is the dumbest argument ever presented on USMB and you think it's an excellent point. Do you liberals have a brain? Sheesh!

you do know how Insurance works right?

Read the statement as written!

Women can't allow religious nuts to push them back into the Dark Ages.

Employees are earning the birth control coverage by the work they do. Is that too hard a concept for you people to understand?

It is the employer's business what perqs to provide outside of a paycheck, not the employee.

a privilege, gain, or profit incidental to regular salary or wages

Unfortunately, liberal dickheads think the government should force employers to provide specific perqs. That is a HUGE government intrusion into the private sector.

An employer shouldn't have anything to do with a person's health care.

It's part of the contractually agreed compensation package.

And did the employer promise birth control in that compensation package? Was that actually in the contract, or did the government decide to force the employer to provide it?

Hmmmm...

Nice try!

The liberal mindset at work here is simply amazing to me.

The government FORCES an employer to provide birth control coverage. The employer resists, and the mentally retarded think it is the employer who is the intruder!!!


Amazing. Simply amazing.

When you got nothing, put some spin on it!

Spurred on by the Supreme Court’s recent Hobby Lobby ruling, Eden Foods CEO Michael Potter has revived a March 2013 case to nix coverage of all birth control from his employees’ healthcare plans. In turn, many shoppers have soured on the organic food giant and are boycotting its products.

“In accordance with his Catholic faith, Potter believes that any action which either before, at the moment of, or after sexual intercourse, is specifically intended to prevent procreation, whether as an end or means -- including abortifacients and contraception -- is wrong,” Erin Mersino, Eden’s lawyer from the conservative Thomas More Law Center, said in a statement sent to The Huffington Post on Friday.

Last month, Hobby Lobby won the right to shirk a clause in the Affordable Care Act that requires employers who provide health insurance to cover all Food and Drug Administration-approved forms of birth control. The company, which is owned by a family of evangelical Christians, opposed emergency contraceptives such as “morning after” pills Plan B and Ella and intrauterine devices, which it believes are tantamount to abortion.

Eden's founder and chief executive goes one step further, opposing all birth control.

Will women tolerate this trend - or boycott such companies?

Here's the difference: Hobby Lobby provides 16 different forms of birth control, this company wants to provide none.

However, that said, if it's based on religious reasoning, I think the Hobby Lobby ruling has made a precedent.

"Man, fuck birth. Birth is for fags."

An unfortunate precedent. They should have struck down the birth control requirement for everyone. The intent of the First Amendment wasn't to give special privileges to state-authorized religions.

Why are men dicktating how women live? Men even control their tampons.

Even Companies That Sell Tampons Are Run By Men
