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.

Another idiot. It is not even enough to pay to have a lazy ass eat and have shelter. They must also have me pay for an Xbox for them. Truthfully now. Since your kind have taken over and swelled the welfare roles and made food stamps have no stigma attached to them. Since your kind have gotten their way ... How much better has society become?

If you start making people responsible for their sucess in this country you will be moving us backwards.

We need to move forward. It does not matter if the move is good or not we just need to progress forward, for the children and the environment. You do care about the children and the environment, and the puppies. Do not kill the puppies!

Do not screw up his righteous hatred for Wal-Mart with facts.

If you do not like it when an employer cuts your hours to keep you under a government mandated (Now you must be paid extra in stuff that you may or may not want) threshold. Maybe you should look at the stupid mandate as the problem.
