In other words , this situation written by people , not Drs , is just a load of rubbish .
Ignoring science is what Republicans run for office on. It’s who they are.
Now wait just one damn minute! I thought that CONservatives and Republican’ts were against the Big Bad Gummit getting between you and your doctor! Oh, that’s right, I forgot the Cardinal Rule of GOPosaur Politics: The way to get government off of a man’s back is to have it crawl up a woman’s uterus…
I won’t pussyfoot around: the employers’ moral and religious objections are wrong. People are perfectly free and respectable to abstain or have several kids, privately. No theory of nothing or other says the government should let organized capital write everyone else’s menu.
The Republican Platform:
- Every man for himself.
- Every woman for her husband.
- Start a war.
Pray they don’t get around to #3.
Who needs the Wahhabists, Taliban, al Qaeda and ISIS violently imposing their religious intolerance on others when we have the Republican’t Party? Fucking terrorists…
In other news, water is wet. The tell is that they didn’t even have to include that stuff in the rule, and putting it in may make the rule more subject to legal challenge.
Republican Mantra:
Keep the Gub’Mint outta my WALLET!
Keep the Gub’Mint IN your VAGINA! (you sluts)
GOP:
“our” researchers are better than “your” researchers!
one addressing religious objections and the other, moral objections
So… wait, there are people who have objections to birth control because of morals not based on religion? People who came to their dislike of birth control without jesus? Right. (Not that the “religious objections” are any more valid - fuck them and the cross they rode in on. If they don’t like BC, they don’t have to use it. Maybe they can test the efficacy of prayer on preventing pregancy in their teenagers).
It suggests that some studies cited in a key 2011 report did not show a direct cause-and-effect link between increased birth control use by women and a decline in unintended pregnancy.
I don’t know what I expected when I started to read this article, but it wasn’t that these assholes would have the balls to actually claim (in official government regulations, I mean - the maniac right has said this before) - that contraceptive meds don’t work. Stupid me - of course they did.
It cites a study finding that between 1960 and 1990, “as contraceptive use increased, teen sexual activity outside of marriage likewise increased.” (The administration added a caveat that the study did not prove a cause-and-effect link.)
Even if this were the case… well, good thing we know! Let’s stop screwing around with regs and just ban contraceptives! Cause the important thing isn’t that fewer teens get pregnant, it’s that they don’t have sex at all (because that always works out so well).
The war on women is proceeding apace.
