You're a ways out yet to be making predictions about who's going to be the next president. I think the country has had about enough of barack and anyone like him. The five justices of the SCOTUS did preserve one of our institutions through their decision. Last I checked, women are still allowed access to contraceptives and abortions in this country. They just can't impose their wills on employers who have religious convictions against it and force them to pay for it.
I'm not far left by any stretch, but I'm concerned by the precedent set by this decision. Already the court has indicated that rather than just appying to a few treatments mistakenly regarded as abortifacents, it could apply to all forms of birth control.
And if I understand your convictions correctly, you should be concerned by the potential of this decision to lead to single payer coverage of women's reproductive health, a program likely to expand if it's initiated.
Though I think the most likely outcome is that the insurance companies will pick up the cost. It's much less expensive to provide free birth control than to cover a pregnancy.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
