this is stupid.

Insane and idiotic. Under that same law, an employer who is a Jehovah's witness could opt out of providing insurance that covers blood transfusions or a Christian Scientist employer could opt out of providing insurance that covers anything but faith healing. The system of having insurance coverage tied to one's employer is broken. People should be able to obtain affordable health insurance that would allow them decide for themselves what kind of coverage they want without the interference of employers or other third parties.

Let's see, republicans don't want contraception coverage, abortion or any government assistance. How would you like all these children women will be having to be taken care of, then? Should we just cage them in huge compounds?

if insurance has to pay for contraceptives, they should have to pay for VIagra and the such.... fair is fair!!! lmao!!!

Insurance DOES pay for Viagra, sadly. Inability to get an erection is considered a medical problem, birth control isn't.
