Are you kidding me? The government needs to keep their hands out of people's pockets.
It is completely immoral for people to be forced to pay for other people. People are individuals who should stand on their own two feet and pay for whatever they want themselves.
Insurance is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against the risk of a contingent, uncertain loss. Insurance is defined as the equitable transfer of the risk of a loss, from one entity to another, in exchange for payment.

organizations think they can pick and chose which morality employees have to
adopt. I am with the side of personal freedom.

No one has said "employees" can't use birth control. They just have to pay for it themselves. Religious organizations cannot and should not be forced by the state to fund it. I'm finished here, since you continue to ignore that simple, but defining fact.

Close...you as an employee have no right to force your self-insured employer to provide what it is religiously against. And furthermore, you cannot have the government step in and force them to provide it to you.

yet you ignore that if they pay them, they are funding it anyway....
Also jehovas witnesses can opt out of paying for blood transfusions, and christian scientists and scientologists can opt out just about everything.

You're right. I do ignore it, because that is a completely ridiculous argument. Once they receive a paycheck for work performed, they are free to spend it as they wish.

Of course birth control is an issue. Being forced to pay for insurance is bad enough without including non-necessities. This foolishness needs to stop.

When taxpayers are paying for the sex lives of others, it's not a 'personal' matter. It's funny how those who demand others stay out of their bedrooms throw a tantrum when it's suggested that they pay for their own birth control. Along with freedom comes responsibility.

I will ignore your insinuation that birth control is in any way shape of form equal to witch doctors.

Are you seriously comparing witch doctors and faith healers to birth control?
What does this have to do with insurance being part of the payment package for work done?

Who cares what you think about witch doctors? It's my right to use a witch doctor, if I want to. I want it, so my employer should have to pay for the insurance company to provide that coverage.
