Democrats Fast-Track Bill To Override Hobby Lobby Decision

And?
People who dont work for Google dont get free bus rides and massages. So everyone who doesnt work for Google is disadvantaged on your view. You wanna pass a law?

There's no requirement for employers to provide free bus rides and massages...so no one is disadvantaged if they don't get them.

I know it's difficult...I simply can't dumb it down any more than that.
Maybe if someone else here is fluent in Moran...?

And the court ruled that certain regulations aren't within the parameters of the law. Yet, here you are screeching about religious imposition and disadvantage. Do you even know how fucking foolish you look right now?

:badgrin:

Please see above.
 
Did you, or did you not claim that this was imposition of religious belief on the part of HL? Yes, yes you did. Then you changed over to "disadvantage".
 
Come on folks.

The Govt is here to help. Yeah. Right.

The only people they seem to help are the freeloaders at other peoples expense.

HL won their case in the SC. Doubt the Dems can do anything about it.

The Dems own the ACA. They passed that little jewel all on their lonesome and I sure hope those that hate it remember that factoid come 16.

Actually, this decision is a disaster for the Republicans. Once again, they are having a "Todd Akin" moment of clueless old white men talking about women's naughty bits.

This never ends well for you guys.

Since I'm not a Rep your thought is crap.

Once folks get a load of high deductables and start to realize what "subsidize" means I think the Dems who own the ACA are in for a surprise come 16.

As for that woman bullshit? If you want contraceptives get off your ass and go buy em. No way should an employer be responsible for anyones PERSONAL needs. Good God. Catch a damned clue.
 
Isn't the real issue at it's most basic whether religious beliefs should trump the law of the land?

There's no requirement for employers to provide free bus rides and massages...so no one is disadvantaged if they don't get them.

I know it's difficult...I simply can't dumb it down any more than that.
Maybe if someone else here is fluent in Moran...?

Right. And there is no lawful requirement for an employer to provide something that violates his religious conscience.
Again, you prove my point. The mandate, which was a regulation from HHS was illegal based on federal law.
Please feel free to point out where I disagree with the court ruling as to HL's right not to fund certain types of contraception.
You can't, because I haven't.
I won't because it's the SCOTUS and they know what they're talking about.
Nevertheless, my point stands as to the disadvantage suffered by these employees because of the ruling.

Nuanced points of view are really a waste of time aren't they?

:lol:

So, did the court make a ruling that this was religious imposition on the part of HL, or did they rule in favor of HL's right to religious freedom? Which is it? Do you agree with the court, who you initially claimed trumped the law of the land, or dont you?
 
Senate Democrats are expediting legislation that would override the Supreme Court's decision in the Hobby Lobby case and compel for-profit employers to cover the full range of contraception for their employees, as required by the Affordable Care Act.

The bill, which is co-authored by Sens. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) and Mark Udall (D-Colo.), would ban for-profit companies from refusing to cover any federally guaranteed health benefits for religious reasons, including all 20 forms of contraception detailed in the Affordable Care Act. It would preserve the contraception mandate's current exemption for churches and accommodation for non-profit religious organizations, such as certain hospitals and schools.

A Senate aide told HuffPost that the bill will be introduced as soon as Tuesday night and go directly to the Senate floor as early as next week, without being considered in committee.

"The U.S. Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision opened the door to unprecedented corporate intrusion into our private lives. Coloradans understand that women should never have to ask their bosses for a permission slip to access common forms of birth control or other critical health services," Udall said in a statement. "My common-sense proposal will keep women's private health decisions out of corporate board rooms, because your boss shouldn't be able to dictate what is best for you and your family."

Sounds good. Get it done.

Sorry, but it's existing law now.

They'd find it easier to repeal Obamacare.

The constitution is designed to prevent government intrusion, not facilitate it.

How is that so hard to understand?

Where on earth is that Moran interpreter?

You're projecting again Joe.

This issue is liberals sticking their noses where it doesn't belong, not the other way around.

No, they ruled that religious freedom IS the law. That the regulation under ACA was a breach of the law. So, how again do you argue that this is a disadvantage to employees based on the ruling, which you view as a religious imposition by HL on employees? Your entire argument here is loopy and illogical.
 
Why is it that the conservatives are against contraception being provided for under healthcare plans, yet are perfectly happy in allowing Viagra?

Why is it Communists are against civil liberty? Sorry comrade, you don't get to dictate the religious views of others - deal with the horror.




deal with the horror .... deal with the Law

:eusa_whistle:

It doesn't become law till it passes all of the hurdles.

Simply proposing something stupid doesn't make it a law.

while I love it, I don't think they can do that. they'd need a constitutionial amendment since the court's reasoning was based on its interpretation of the constitution, however absurd. you can't override a supreme court decision with simple legislation.

No, they said HL was covered under a previously passed law, that stated people have the right to not participate in certain things if it counters their firmly held religious beliefs. The SC said THAT law trumps the requirements under the ACA only for cases similar to HL.

HL relied on a law for their position, so its one LAW that trumped ANOTHER LAW.
 
This thread is a freaking mind bender. Left wing whackos have gone off the deep end.

What's cracking me up thru this debate is that feminazis are demanding to be taken care of. I'm an old school feminist.

The last thing on the planet I fought for when the movement first started was to have someone else take care of me. Good grief. That's what we fought against.

We wanted equality so we could make our own way. Unreal.

Yep.

The GOP is waging a war on women because they do not feel that women need to be catered to, pampered and isolated....

The Democratic party believes they need free stuff, special laws, etc.

Seems the democrats see them as helpless.

Ironic if you ask me.
