I haven't been following this story 'too' intently, but ran across this article. I have mixed feelings about all of this. I'm no longer religious and while I classify myself as an atheist, is it right to bestow MY views onto religious people? Should all corporations, regardless of their religious affiliations, be required to pay for contraception under their insurance plans?
Your thoughts/opinions?
If employers can pick and choose which bits to follow who knows what else they can object to.
Remember there are some religious sects that do not agree with any level of medical intervention, so contraception could be the thin edge of a very wide wedge.
This!! Yes. I remember recently the story of a teenage girl diagnosed with cancer, whose parents denied her chemotherapy, I believe that was the story, because of their religious beliefs. Horrifying. How can this not be classified as child abuse?
