Senate Democrats Propose Law to Force Christians to Pay for Abortion Drugs
In an obvious "sour grapes" knee-jerk hyper response to the Hobby Lobby Supreme Court decision last week, Democrats in the U.S. Senate are proposing yet another crusade against the 1st Amendment.
They display their true colors by demanding that abortion drugs be "forcibly paid for" by everybody if I read this correctly.
HHS has already discriminated by "allowing" non profit organizations to be exempt while forcing all others to be included but separated by religion.
The Supreme Court partly disagreed by "allowing" closely held companies to be exempted from at least the "contraceptives" listed by the FDA.
Very dangerous when we see the absolute mania displayed since last week.
Big can of worms.
I wonder how religious Democrats feel and how many will be "alienated" by this wild action ?
On Wednesday, Senate Democrats introduced a bill that would force Christians and other conscientious objectors to pay for drugs and devices, including the "week-after" pill, that may kill human embryos.
The new bill was drafted in response to Supreme Court's ruling last week that Obamacare's so-called contraceptive mandate as applied to family-owned religious businesses was a violation of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The Democrats' legislation would strip away the religious freedom law's protections for Americans who provide health benefits to their employees.
The text of the bill states that an employer-sponsored health insurance plan shall not exclude coverage of any item or service "where the coverage of such item or service is required under any provision of Federal law or the regulations promulgated thereunder" and that the new law would "apply notwithstanding any other provision of Federal law, including Public Law 103–141 [the Religious Freedom Restoration Act]."

I am glad for this, I was forced to pay for the two trillion dollar wars that the Christian Right supported as they locked stepped with Bush. I guess they only care about killing when the person does not have a name.

Obamacare is not a tax, it's a law. If you fail to buy insurance, you pay a fee. That fee was declared a tax. The ACA itself is not a tax.
A law that would force most Americans to buy health care will survive in limited form as a tax, the Supreme Court ruled in a jaw-dropping, landmark decision on Thursday that dealt a disappointment to many conservatives, but included several small victories for the free market and individual rights

LOL. So that's better??? And why do you always need to generalize so much with all the Right vs Left BS??? That is getting so old and tired listening to people still stuck on that false Dualistic Political Scam.

BS.
their aim is to ensure that all Americans get adequate medical insurance - and even Republicans who have gained coverage under ACA are mostly happy about that!
The concept that a company can be "Christian" is patently ludicrous.

And in every insurance policy I've ever heard of, once they go from being contraception to necessary medication, they get paid for no matter what. In other words, they stop being contraception and become medication. There is a difference. One is elective and the other is not.
Obamacare originated in the House as H.R. 3590, and it was originally called the “Service Members Home Ownership Tax Act of 2009.” Yes, it was amended, and amended heavily, in the Senate, but the Constitution says of revenue bills, “the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.”

You want to go there? But it's good that you understand that an abortion is a murder.

Actually, according to the itemized bill I receive monthly.
A hefty portion of my premium is listed as a tax.

Why is it that everyone complains about "Paying for women's sex life" or something to that effect but those same people never bi*tch about "Paying for men's sex life"??? The ACA pays for Erectile dysfunction drugs, Vacuum erection devices, Penile implants, Vasectomies and Circumcision.
