” women’s right to decide whether and when to have children”

I’ve always thought that women made that choice right before they spread their legs. What we’re talking about is a second choice.

I wonder how many people have already had their policies terminated because their existing plan didn’t provide for birth control (therefore substandard under previous Obamacare). If any, do they get to have their policies back?

A real blessing would be if the government put contraceptives in all the malt liquor and urban water supplies. All bamaPhones should come with a dermal release contraceptive too. If future Americans all grew up with some ambition and work ethic this country could be great again.

There being no severalbility clause, how is it the law can stand in whole.

It would have to be summarily struck down.

IF the present court system actually followed the written law instead of what they personally feel is right.

Ohio Ping

Friday’s ruling centered on two Catholic brothers, Francis and Philip Gilardi, who own a 400-person produce company based in Ohio. ****

The brothers oppose contraception as part of their religion and challenged the Affordable Care Act provision requiring them to provide insurance that covers their employees’ birth control.

Refusing to abide by the letter of the law, they said, would result in a $14 million fine.

snip

The Obama administration said that the requirement is necessary to protect women’s right to decide whether and when to have children.

The judges were unconvinced, however, that forcing companies to cover contraception protected that right.

Keep destroying this piece of crap.

Cut it up, like a whale if you have to, in order to blast the entire damn thing all to hell.

Thanks for the question.

It looks like the contraception regulation was created by Sebelius as a response to the preventative care mandate of the law.

So severability does not apply.

Damnit...

“Didn’t she also rule on a case in Bush vs Gore?”

No. She was not on the bench at that point. G W Bush nominated her to the DC Circuit.

A federal appeals court on Friday struck down the birth control mandate in ObamaCare, concluding the requirement trammels religious freedom.

HOORAY!!

Now let's see if this is upheld when it goes to the SC.

For now, though, hooray for Judge Janice Rogers Brown and whoever the other judge is!

First the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling upholding (temporarily) the Texas Abortion law and now this.

I’ve almost forgotten what good news looks like.
