Detroit - A federal judge has ruled a property management company owned by the founder of Domino´s Pizza doesn ´t have to immediately implement mandatory contraception coverage in the health care law.

U.S. District Judge Lawrence Zatkoff ruled Sunday in favor of Tom Monaghan and his Domino´s Farms Corp.,near Ann Arbor. Monaghan,a devout Roman Catholic,says contraception isn´t health care but a "gravely immoral" practice. Zatkoff granted Monaghan´s emergency motion for a temporary restraining order until a final decision is made in the case.

I worked for 40 years in various fields and for various companies. I had health insurance with many of them and not one covered birth control - not one. The only reason Obama wants to force companies to cover it now is to thumb his nose at those who are opposed for religious reasons.

FUBO

back when I was a kid “family planing” items where easy to get and could be bought with the change off the floor of the car.

I don’t need that stuff now (married..) but I still see the machines in rest rooms.

You can still buy them with the change off the floor of your car.

Obama had to bring out a prop (30 yr old Fluke student) and war on women campaign to help community organize rights away. With the help of MSM.

And to score a few million additional female votes. It’s all about buying votes and keeping the Socialists in power.

YESS!!!! Michigan is kickin' butt right now, dang, Snyder on a role now this. Small victory yes, but imagine this in all 30 Republican Governor States doing this to rub Sibilius and Obama's nose in it..

Now onto either balanced books or Chapter 9 for Detwaa...

So Monaghan gets an injunction, but Hobby Lobby doesn’t? I fail to see the difference between the two.

[Western Phil]

Monaghan’s decision was by a Reagan appointee, Hobby Lobby’s by an obama appointee.
