I have always held that there is no way whatsoever that birth control can be justified as a health insurance matter.

Instead of fixing something that doesn’t work, it either breaks something that works or prevents something that works, from working.

I have never received an intelligent rebuttal or even a coherent reply from a leftist on this matter.

The liberals had no problem twisting the language of Lawrence v. Texas.

The only thing the Wheaton College injunction says is that an exempt employer MAY not be required to file a certain form with the US government. Until the issue (is a certain form required) is resolved, the government should consider themselves notified and take whatever action they deem appropriate.

It does not impact the employer mandate or birth control in any way - regardless of the mass hysteria among the Uterus Uber Alles crowd on the Supreme Court!

All of this is piecemeal BS. Obamacare was passed and all the battles are against a Condom.
Really, WTF. Has nobody understood how the RATs operate? They take a mile
and give back an inch. Success!

Obamacare is stuck on us and when people start going to Prison for not paying
or not able to pay, they battle will be over One Day of the Five year sentence.

To hell with everybody!

I think there is one bridging phrase to the Declaration of Independence that is in the Constitution, which can be seen as a link to "unalienable rights."

Preamble

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Note the use of the phrase "Blessings of Liberty." They didn't say "liberty," they said "blessings of liberty." They also capitalized Blessings and Liberty. Why?

In the Declaration of Independence, the Founders said:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Note the use of capitalization for Life, Liberty, and Happiness. This is common when writing about gifts from God. Also note that these refer to the rights endowed by the Creator, which would be blessings. By this language, is it possible that Founders meant the Constitution to establish a government that secured the blessing of the unalienable right to Liberty?

Therefore, when they spoke of "securing the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity," wouldn't those referred to as "our posterity" be the unborn children who were also "blessed" with the right to Liberty, and the other unalienable rights in the Declaration of Independence?

How can the Founders believe that they were securing Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness for our unborn future if they were also writing abortion into the Constitution?

** the Supreme Court granted Wheaton College an injunction pending appeal against enforcement of the contraception mandate, even though Wheaton was eligible for the accommodation HHS has provided for religious non-profits.**

Just a delay.
