Dont bring it up for a vote, don’t let them change everything. Make this DOA like ENDA
ONOZ! We can't have laws benefiting conservatives!! Laws are only supposed to be tools for liberals to bludgeon and torture conservatives! Can't have people thinking they get equal protection under law or something.
I love the irony here.
The liberals are forced to take issue with a law passed by a Democrat congress, and signed by a Democrat president, Bill Clinton.
Democrats controlled both houses of Congress then. This bill would not have passed without their full support, or the support of the Democrat president at that time.
I love it that Hillary will be forced to take issue with a law signed by her husband.
How funny this is, to see liberals have to take issue with a law they overwhelmingly supported.
Alinsky, always Alinsky. There can be no other purpose to this than to focus all the rage of the left on any dissenter.
This wasnt bipartisan. It was written, voted on and signed by one party...guess which one...mainly to allow native Americans the right to smoke peyote.
Typical scum bag democRATS. They’re 100% for a law until a Christian uses it?..then not so 100%.
The Rats are desperate for an election issue.
Conservatives should state Women control their own bodies, and together with their Doctors, are smart enough to decide what is best for themselves.
Where does the government get off deciding what is best for all Women, regardless of personal needs and circumstance???
Women should not settle for the “Twenty” choices the Rats are trying to Ram down their throat’s, Women deserve better
Way back in 93 when not everything a Democrat POTUS and Congress passed was evil.
Of course they do, that was before they were all Communists.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Politically correct interpretations of the Equal Protections Clause of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment (14A) aside, the states have never amended the Constitution to give women the right to demand that their employers pay for their contraceptives. In fact, justices from the same generation that ratified 14A had officially clarified that 14A added no new protections.
“3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities. It simply furnishes additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had [emphasis added].” —Minor v. Happersett, 1874.
So since women did not have the constitutionally enumerated right to demand that their employers pay for their contraceptives before 14A was ratified, they still don't have such a right.
So what left-leaning members of Congress, the three female justices, and Hillary Clinton need to do to establish such a right within the framework of the Constitution is the following. They need to encourage Congress to propose an amendment to the states which would give women such a right. And if the states choose to ratify the amendment then the right will be constitutionally enumerated and the left-leaning members of Congress, the three female justices and Clinton will be heroes.
Birth Control is a very powerful issue.
Wait ‘til the nuns get their case up there.
Hey it’s settled law!
This is going get good LOL!
SCOTUS clearly wanted to rule based on RFRA rather than 1st Amendment to keep the ruling as mild and narrow as possible. Without RFRA, the opinion would have been the same but much stronger. Is that really what the anti-Christian left wants, or are they too stupid to understand?
With respect to RFRA, I don’t see why it’s really needed since the freedom to exercise religion is prominently in the First Amendment already. What part of “shall not be infringed” do people not understand?
