RE :”I also predict, over time, this will backfire on the Dems.

I don't know. Birth control is extremely popular in this country, it's has been for generations.
So far Republicans record on beating Dems since the 2010 election is a portrait of failure.

If I was crafting a opposing bill mine would say that any benefit that only goes to any specific Demographic group must be paid for with a separate rider, much like auto insurance. I have to buy liability but not collision. And I wouldn't make it look like I think that only Catholic Church owned businesses are entitled to exemption.

My older idea I still like was to write a bill that allows entire states to exempt themselves completely from Obama-care. That would be harder to oppose than the entire repeal for everyone was .

So you’re ok with forcing people to pay for contraception? That’s a terrible bill.

Completely unacceptable.

If people want contraception - they can pay for it themselves. Employers should not be forced to provide coverage - that should be left up to the employees. If the employees cannot afford contraception - why is that a problem for the employer?

How does contraception become an issue for an employer? I just don’t see how it’s relevant. An employer -if they wish to provide the coverage and undertake it, fine. But it should never become a public benefit, and that includes the public sector. If the public sector bureaucrats want contraception - they should pay for it themselves rather than expected the taxpayer to pick up the check.
