Religious Liberty?

[ohreally]

No that is a problem, that would be no different than denying health care to mixed couples because of your belief races should not mix. This is simply religious based sexism.

If one's religion forbade the mixing of races in marriage, then yes, you probably wouldn't want to be forced, for example, to pay for a mixed marriage.  And nobody is talking about denying anyone health care-- it's about what aspects of care an employer should be responsible for, and what aspects s/he should not.


You guys keep saying that employers are denying health care, as though the employer has a moral obligation to provide health care for workers.  I don't think this is a moral truth: the truth is that each of us has to find a way to provide for ourselves and our offspring.  America is now in the early stages of providing good health care to its citizens, and there are wrinkles to iron out.  One of them is the balance between the religious values of employers and the pragmatic needs of employees.


As I mentioned before, I think the best solution is to make ALL reproductive health care government-run, so that employers don't have to make a moral decision or a moral stand if they don't like those aspects of the health care system.

I understand the reasoning but I think you are leaving out the fact that a business is not a doctor and that a business doesn't write prescriptions nor make medical decisions.  If the business wants to offer health care then they should do that and if they don't want to offer health care then that is fine.  Cherry picking a patient/medical provider procedures or prescriptions based on how they feel is not sound.  This is based on me doing 5 min of research and not being able to find a plan that doesn't include contraception unless it has specially exempted, not sure if that even saved Hobby Lobby any money.
