    It seems the left has forgotten this is supposed to be the land of the free, not the land of the democrat dictate.

    Welllll, to be fair to them, as "Hope and Change!" continues to do nothing more than crash and burn around their heads they are ideologically reduced to simply replying with the political equivalent of "Nuh-huh! Ain't not neither so! You are a bunch of poopy heads!" and even they figure that people want to read only so much of that sort of thing by way of a cutting edge, facts filled, standard leftwing rebuttal . . . :cool:

    No one is stopping them from buying their own contraceptives. Do you want to pay for an alcoholics booze?

    Hillary's not running. The State Dept/CIA/White House arms running operation that supplied weapons to ISIS that is now using them to take over Iraq, getting 4 Americans killed in the process.

    this is why businesses shouldn't be in the business of providing insurance.

    Too late, Obamacare made that mandatory or pay a fine.

    Any new program is an additional burden on the taxpayers, regardless of the beneficiary. You are reading negative connotations into the word 'burden' that do not exist in the context of its use here.

    You are spot on when you say the left has forgotten this is supposed to be the land of the free, not the land of democrat dictates.

    This along with the other SC decisions seems to mean sanity is returning to the country. Obama's imperial dictatorship is now in a shambles.

    No one is forcing contraception on anyone.. and it should be part of any healthcare benefits package.

    I have not stated an opinion on this. I was merely pointing out that you implied the use of the word 'burden' indicated misogyny on the part of the user, where no misogyny exists.

    The ACA covers corporations too but Obama keeps delaying it for them.

    This case is a direct result of the ACA.

    You would probably prefer it to be a part of a benefits package. Other people feel differently based upon what their invisible friend tells them. Either way...the SCOTUS decision is a win for freedom.

    Evidently Margot is one that believes other people can be forced to pay for her stuff and that refusing to do that is somehow misogynistic.

    How is expecting women to buy their own contraception "misogynistic"?

    IN addtion, the FOUR pills Hobby Lobby objected to are NOT "CONTRACPETIVES", but are ABORTIFACIENTS, which work POST-CONCEPTION.

    The court leaves it open for Obama (taxpayers) to pay for it, kinda like Obama phones.

    Providing pills that cause a woman to abort her baby has NOTHING to do with health.

    BTW, do we FORCE companies to pay for men's contraceptions? Theirs actually DOES have something to do with health....as it can prevent certain diseases.

    Nobody is forcing them to work there. If they want to (*)(*)(*)(*) without a condom so bad, they can pay for the pleasure.

    I think its a part of any healthcare benefits package.. just as men's health issues are covered.

    Hyperbole....the hysteric reaction to the idea that women might have a smidgen, a sliver of basic personal responsibility. that it is not the job of government, or anyone else, to provide them with goodies they can provide for themselves.

    Sure it does........ A woman has the right to terminate an unwanted pregnancy for health reasons, or financial reasons or even because she is NOT up the demands of raising another child. Viagra is covered... and that certainly is discretionary.
