Read some history. The law you are referring to, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, had to do with protecting land sacred to Native Americans and the use of peyote in Native American rituals. It was a perversion of original intent for the Court to apply it in the Hobby Lobby case.

The ACA requires that insurance companies offer every form of birth control approved by the FDA -----WITH NO COPAY.

You continue to demonstrate a level of stupidity that makes the average amoeba look like a Rhodes Scholar.

Unless that government is for a military, then no amount of spending is enough for them.

First, the word “Democrat” is not an adjective—you meant “Democratic President Bill Clinton.”

Second, the law was never intended to apply to corporations, which have never, ever been granted “religious views” since the founding of the country.

Third, your weak attempt at blaming Democrats for the travesty of the law perpetrated by the conservatives on the Supreme Court has failed.

Fourth, as usual, we are laughing at you.

You need to get laid. I am guessing that’s not an option for you, as clearly no one will do it for free and just as clearly you can’t afford the co-pay.

False.

The law says exactly what I wrote.

The Supremes didn’t rule based on the ACA—they deliberately misinterpreted a different law so it would fit their pre-conceived ideological desire.

Some words you may want to take to heart. Tis better to be thought a fool than to continuously pound your keyboard and remove all doubt.

Well those of us who follow politics closely know this, but this is just one more example of their cavalier approach to women to broadcast out to low-information voters, particularly women, because this is one issue that the vast majority of women in this country would find appalling. And I love Senator Ayotte’s symbolic bill - women are really going to love that you’ve told them they can buy Rx contraceptives at full price…

“Symbolic legislation offered in response by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) and Deb Fischer (R-NE) would affirm that a woman can still buy contraception on her own.”

Really? And isn’t the right to use contraception already protected under the Constitution (see, Griswold v. Conn.)? Thanks a lot, GOP!

So i say something you don’t like and bingo i’m suspended. Wow civil discourse on full display.

No, you posted an ad hominem personal attack—and a bald-faced lie—about me.

That will get you reported and suspended every time.

Care to try it again?
