Only a religious nut case, or an absolute moron (see Republican reactionaries) would prefer the costs associated with abortions or pregnancy to the cost of providing coverage for birth control.

We are cattle, nothing more. Stupider than most cows.
You mean loony fringe groups like THE CATHOLIC CHURCH? A religion that 25% of Americans belong to? Granted, many individual Catholics don't follow the exact script, and that's fine, but the Church as an employer should have the right to choose whether to pay for birth control for its employees or not.

You provide the benefit with the expectation that it's something your employees need and will use. Cherry-picking the benefit in order to enforce your personal standards is over-stepping your authority. You're not the morality police, and since birth control medications actually deal with other health issues besides contraception, an employer's opposition to those medications can only be seen as an attempt to impose the employer's religious beliefs on employees.
This!

No, no....don't tell me. Let me guess.

Seriously, if you have proof that that statement is true, please enlighten me. And, no, "Rush (or Beck or Hannity or...) told me" doesn't count.

Some of you people just don't get it. The majority of us men have our views of reproduction formed by women.
you are not the boss of me. BTW if your wife was my good friend, I certainly would advise her to make sure her husband considered her a full partner.

seriously you have your head in the sand if you think neanderthal 3rd world thinking by men is a majority.

What does the 2nd and 3rd sentence of your post have to do with the topic?
Or is it that you just couldnt resist taking a cheap shot?
Grow up.

If you really think that's what it's about, you're a moron.

I bet you 15 trillion dollars that if it were the The Nation of Islam who didn't want to pay for BC for its employees, Obama would just wink, nod, and sweep it under the rug.
