Hey Gryph! Good to see you again!
And who, exactly, is it that is being forced by the govt to follow the dictates of someone's religion? Key word there being "forced".

I suspected that the ACA was written with failure in mind.... just to get to a single payer system.

Bbracken:
1. I'm not debating ACA here in any way shape form or fashion. We've chatted about that before. Different topic.
2. I can't see where I refer to you as a neocon. If I did, please point out where, and I'll apologize. (???)
3. Sorry to "disappoint" you, but I'm really clear on the right of a woman to make all decisions about her own body. When I hear men talk about "their" contribution to a pregnancy or "their" baby ... I hear possession, and that makes it a matter of property, and no one is someone else's property.
Best,
See...your point would not be moot if the govt required employees of Hobby Lobby to remain working at Hobby and / or prevent those employees from taking contraceptives. But that is not the case. The employees are free to work elsewhere should they choose and they are free to purchase and use contraceptives, if they so choose.
Women shouldn't have to tip toe or maneuver around religious zealots to get the rights legally assigned them.

Myself and a couple others have pointed this out a couple of times. Silence.......Like I said earlier, it's not against their faith apparently when it comes to investments.
What about Conestoga Wood Specialties?
Do they have similar investments?

No doctor can force me to do any treatment or stop me from doing any treatment I choose.
Doctors, maybe... cops are a different story.
There are plenty of cancer treatments out there that can't be used legally. That is why people go to Mexico for some treatments.
