watching business owners whine about unfair it is that they have to provide birth control as part of their insurance plan
If you've ever been a manager you would know damn well why any company pays for contraceptives. Basically, it is just so much cheaper and less disruptive than maternity leave that it would be stupid not to pay it. Hell, most managers would ram the Combined Oral Contraceptive Pill down their female employees throats if they were legally able.
In reality, contraceptives are such a small and predictable cost that you don't really need to be insured against them. It's not charity, it's business, and if anything, not providing them shows a respect to the privacy of their employees sexuality.
GP is not aware that companies are not bitching about giving contraceptives to their employees. GP is just regurgitating stuff he heard. Hobby Lobby already gives its employees insurance that covers over 40 different types of contraceptives. It only does not want to cover 4 of them. Those 4 are available to anyone who wants to pay for them. There is no war against women. There is no evil company trying to take away a woman's right to choose. Just a company that does not want to pay money to do what they believe is killing babies.
But. People are stupid and can only think in small sound bites. So this is how we legislate now.
