Keeping things in perspective

[CaptainObvious]

Listening to leftists you would sometimes think the U.S. is the most horrific place on earth. Take the "war on women" as an example. The "broads" on the left and their limp dicked male counterparts would have us believe that only being able to get 16 out of 20 available contraceptives is simply unbearable. Perhaps they should take a trip abroad to gain some perspective.

Whether it's 16 or 5 or 19 is beside the point, which is that a bunch of theocrats, usually men, have no right to tell these women that their insurance will not pay for these options.

Actually if they expect the "theocrats" to pay for it, then yes the men do have a say in what they will and won't pay for. Don't want my input, don't send me the bill. Then you can buy whatever is available. Simple enough concept. This has never been about choice, it's about who pays for what, but that's not the point of this thread. The point is about the hysterical reaction from the left. When somebody starts talking about cutting their clits out, then they have an argument. Until then, get a grip and STFU.

Since the reasons are based on religious objections, no, they should not have a say. Or don't pay for any sort of contraceptives at all and make them available OTC.

But these women have some right to make the rest of us pay for those options. I see how it is in your world!

Oh so if you need to have surgery or have some special procedure you can go to the Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins, Cleveland Clinic .... you're not restricted by your insurance to certain facilities? WOW, you have better insurance than most of us then.

There's a difference between restricting access and denying it altogether.

NO! They have 16 of 20 choices just as a person has a choice of facilities they can have a procedure done. I guess I missed something .. you're suggesting that Hobby Lobby is now DENYING all forms of birth control to women? Guess I missed that news.

Employer provided health insurance is not a constitutional right, nor is mandated by labor law, other than should a employer choose to provide the benefit it must comply with state regulations regarding heath insurance. The government cannot make an employer provide heath insurance anymore than they can dictate how much vacation time the employer must provide. Case closed!
