Appearing on 'Face the Nation,' Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said that he supports a bill by Sen Roy Blunt (R-MS) that gives any employer the right to exclude any type of birth control that they find objectionable (video below).
Giving the employer a choice is not a ban. Is there a reason the OP intentionally posted a misleading thread title?
I thought the far left was "pro-choice"?
Quote:
Host Bob Schieffer asked: “Sen. (Roy) Blunt from Missouri — one of your Republican colleagues — he wants an amendment now that would allow any group that had a moral objection to this to not have to pay for birth control pills.
Clearly giving an empoyer the choice not to pay for birth control is not the same as banning birth control all together.
In Progressive entitlmentville does "not free" = banned?

Oh, it goes a whole lot deeper than that...why is it ONLY birth control??????

Nope, it's Control Women Because Republicans Consider Them Cattle.
Women can still get birth control, this is about getting it "free" as mandated by the Obama administration or paying for it. Men can purchase birth control too.
The thread title is intentionally misleading/trolling. There is no attempt to "ban" anything.
Some intellectual honesty from the far left would be refreshing.
If the Obama administration gets it way the price of contraception will skyrocket, just like everything the federal government decides will be "free". There is no "free" birth control. Someone always pays.
"In this country the government doesn't get to tell you or your organization what your religious views are – and they could well be minority views – but the Bill of Rights is designed to protect the minority from the will of the majority," McConnell said on CBS's "Face the Nation."
"So this issue will not go away until the administration simply backs down. They don't have the authority … to tell someone in this country, or some organization in this country, what their religious beliefs are. Therein lies the problem."
birth control is not a right!, buy your own!! you buy your own car, your gas, your clothing, stop being lazy get a job and pay for your own pleasures!!
This is not about "birth control". That is the fallacy the far left keeps pushing.
This is 100% about the federal government attempting to use regulation to intercede with the right to worship freely and faith based matters of conscience. It is a violation of the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution.

This has noting to do with faith or worship and pre internt days when loony fringe groups had no voice nobody would have thought a thing about this.
We are cattle, nothing more. Stupider than most cows.

It's not just birth control.
Blunt's amendment would deny preventative care for any procedure that anyone found objectionable.
"The Blunt Amendment gives virtually limitless and unprecedented license to any employer or insurance plan, religious or not, to exclude any health service, no matter how essential, in the health services they cover."
