Exactly right -
This decision changes NOTHING in the world of available contraception methods and devices. Its all still legal and for sale, however small businesses run by conscientious objectors are no longer required to pay for it. What an employee at one of these places decides to do with the money they earn was never in contention.
Anyone who wants contraception can walk into any Walmart, Walgreen's or Planned Parenthood and get what they want.
But the MSM and the primitives are going to play it as another blow landed by those damn dirty rethugs in the "War on Women".
The war on woman is a joke. 1966, I could not work overtime as I was a female. For my protection. Could not get a job at GE until I had a physical to show that at that time I was not pregnant. For my protection.
So many laws are passed for the protection of people, male and female that end up ham strung but--- it is for their protection.
What happened to the laws of self inflicted problems, drink too much, eat too much, get some kind of STD's, end up in jail for belting the wife between the running lights. Do we expect our employers to give us time off with pay to fix our problem ?
Reality is it is a woman's choice today to become pregnant or not. If she wishes to work that is her choice. Why pay her for making a personal choice ? She has the choice to work over time, and come back to work a week after the birth if she wishes.
I hear now the father and mother of the baby wants 3 months salary to Bond with his child. How is this any ones business but their own, why put this on the employer, they had nothing to do with any of this ?
Unless this pregnancy can be proved to be a work place accident, perhaps a OSHA accident of some sort, or a rape in an unsafe area of a business and the employer was aware of the danger, I see no reason any employer should do more them to pay someone for a days work and let their insurance pick up the tab.
