“A group of for-profit companies are currently suing to gain the right to deny employees access to coverage for birth control and contraceptive care...”
There is the essence of the libtard mindset, in a nutshell; “suing to gain the right to deny...access to...”, while at the same time decrying the opposition as wanting to be involved in the reproductive decisions of women. This is classic projection.
Only in this upside down, down the rabbit hole America could this notion be the mainstream.
I fear for the future of this grand experiment.
What’s so deceitful about the argument of the left is that none of the companies or organizations are suing to “deny access to” either contraceptives or abortions - they are suing to avoid being made to pay for those things. In the liberal mindset, if someone else refuses to pay for another person’s choices, they are trying to deny the second person’s freedom to act as they wish.
The solution would be to create a separate insurance pool that does not cover contraceptives and abortion, and let the employers who wish buy their coverage from that pool. Then let the insurance company offer a rider to cover contraceptives, etc. and charge the employee directly for that coverage. Voila! The employer can provide insurance without violating his conscience and the employee can get the additional coverage he/she desires.
