Because I too wouldn't want to pay for the specific birth control types that most caused abortions. And I too donate money to my local Church. And while I think gay couples should have all the legal benefits/tax exemptions as same sex couples do as far as the state is concerned, as far as the Church itself is concerned, I agree with their decision to only do marriages between one man and one women who are not previously married.
The point is, you guys would think I was a horrible person without even knowing me. Just bc these ppl don't agree with you on certain things doesn't make them the demon.
C_L. No one is or ever was asking Hobby Lobby to pay for birth control. They refused to allow their employees to pay for it. The contributions come from the employees paychecks. They were objecting because they didn't want their employees to use their own discretion in which BC methods to use.
The worst part is that their claim was based on thoroughly debunked junk science. The 4 methods in question did not, in fact, cause abortion. They prevented endometrial implantation of the fertilized egg. So a woman who uses those drugs was never pregnant in the first place, which is a pretty important precondition for having an abortion, you know.
Either way, would you agree that it is pretty shitty for a company to try and limit its employees' health options?
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
