That is 100% absolutely not true. A company can always choose what mutual funds to involve themselves in & the fund will have a breakdown of where they money goes. Personally, with my 401(k) I can choose exactly what industries my money goes into.
Have you never had a 401(k)?
Just read this.
Apparently, this terrible ruling allows any "religious company" to deny every single type of birth control should they so desire. Doesn't matter if if it's misconstrued as an abortifacient or not. Doesn't matter if it's for PCOS or any of the 20 non-contraceptive reasons that a woman could be taking birth control. This affects over 50 pending cases & DEITY$ only knows how many women.
97% of Catholic women have reported that they have used birth control at some point in their lives.
Neo-cons will be reaping this whirlwind come November.
Where did it say that women are being denied access to contraceptives? Last I checked women still have legal access to them. They just have to foot their own money for them. Companies with religious convictions against abortions and contraceptives that induce abortions can't be forced now to provide for those services. It was a good ruling for religious liberty guaranteed by the first amendment and one that based in part on the "Religious Freedom and Restoration Act", signed into law by former prez Billy Clinton.
