Well, we are talking about Republican families so you never know.
You are correct on all counts, and I have no reservations about voting for a woman, in general. I just seem to recall some things about back then, when the couple was referred to as âBillaryâ, sometimes not in a nice way. But, yes, this isnât the 90âs, and she has âevolvedâ on many issues, and I just learned that since Hobby Lobby, Mrs. Clinton now abhors RFRA, and that it should be repealed. Maybe in two years I will evolve, as well. Iâm now waiting to hear what her stand will be on Keystone as a candidate. More to the point, what will Obamaâs position be?

I am really beginning to be surprised that the Christian Scientists havenât gotten into the act here. Forcing them to cover medical care at all is a violation of their creed.
And the Jehovahâs Witnesses clearly need policies that donât cover blood transfusions or the use of any blood productsâŚ
But you know something, I would bet $50 that this supreme court would never OK a request for a coverage restriction that doesnât involve beating up on women.

âThis new policy doesnât get at the primary problem. The administration is setting itself up as a mediator between God and the conscience on the question of the taking of innocent human life.â
contraceptives donât âtakeâ human life. of course, they know this, but it turns out that pretend ignorance is a lot more profitable than honesty is.

I donât mean to be light on this issueâ but, the word(s), thought that, first came to mind is: âback to the Dark Agesâ.

Even getting to those kinds of questions is pretty ridiculous. The government is saying that if Iâm an employer, and I decide to offer a specific benefit to my employees, I canât discriminate against my female employees in a particular way. No âarbiterâ thing involved, any more than the government would be being an arbiter of morals if it told me that I couldnât forbid my employees from drinking coffee or caffeinated soft drinks while not at work.
Who, at the moment of birth, abruptly becomes a miracle from God.

Funny you should mention that; here in deep-red Utah, most of the stateâs Interstate highways carry an 80 mile per hour speed limit. We also have a weak seat belt law; you may not be pulled over simply for not wearing a belt, though you may be cited for it if you are pulled over for another reason and the cop just happens to notice that youâre not wearing a belt. Why donât we have a law that allows you to be pulled over for failing to wear a seat belt? FREEDOM!â˘

They just despise other people having sex.

I wish it was hard to believe so many people could be this obtuse but alas, it is not. No one is âattackingâ birth control. No one is denying anyone access to birth control. If you wish to use birth control all you have to do is go get some. The real problem is that you have been denied (so far) the legal ability to force someone else to pay for what you want in this one, narrow instance and youâre all screaming bloody murder over it. We should be moving away from employer provided medical insurance not trying to force everyone into it.
Isnât this the same âpartyâ that wants ot eliminate âfrivolousâ lawsuits??

Where have you been? these people have ALWAYS been against birth control. Itâs all about controlling women and their pesky habit of enjoying sex. There must be consequences!!/sarcasm
I really hate them all.

Except that youâre wrong - theyâre denying those employees the right to use THEIR earned benefits for a medical issue. And yes, they ARE attacking birth control. Insurance is an earned benefit. I donât see them denying men the ability to get Viagra on their insurance benefit, do you?
On the other hand, Iâm for single payer. But in the meantime, my boss should not be able to control my birth control choices. Period.

Earlier this week I had another person here argue that a zygote is just the other end of the continuum of life from an elderly person who cannot take care of him/herself. And that they both deserve equal protection.
Definition:
After a female egg is fertilized, the resulting one-celled organism becomes known as a zygote. Once this has occurred, the zygote begins a two-week period of rapid cell division and will eventually become an embryo.
It looks like the majority opinion in Hobby Lobby can best be described setting up a poisoning the pill defense. It looks like the new hobby that is being lobbied by the decision is litigation.

Yes. These people are attacking BC. If we had a single payer system, we would all still be paying for everyoneâs BC, and they would be raising the same objections.

[/quote]It is also not just the Employer paying for the insurance. Why the hell am I having a couple hundred dollars a month deducted from my paycheck to go towards paying for my insurance if my employerâs religous convictions are the primary determinant on if my wife can use said insurance to access legal preventative treatments to control her endometriosis.
