Christianity & Hobby Lobby

a reply to: Annee

Women's health needs should be available through their insurance -- same as men's health needs should be available through insurance -- if the corporation provides insurance.

They do, they did, and still do and still can.

With respect to an insured health plan, including a student health plan, the non-profit religious organization provides notice to its insurer that it objects to contraception coverage. The insurer then notifies enrollees in the health plan that it is providing them separate no-cost payments for contraceptive services for as long as they remain enrolled in the health plan.

Similarly, with respect to self-insured health plans, the non-profit religious organization provides notice to its third party administrator that objects to contraception coverage. The third party administrator then notifies enrollees in the health plans that it is providing or arranging separate no-cost payments for contraceptive services for them for as long as they remain enrolled in the health plan.

Administration issues final rules on contraception coverage and religious organizations

If you are a dude, I really don't care what your opinion is on this.

Nor, do I care about the loophole 5 old fart male Catholic judges used to make this insulting decision.

Oh, and yes I know YOU don't consider it a loophole.

Except the Supreme Court pulled a "Quick Change / Hat Trick" while we were sleeping!

Yet moments before they adjourned for their summer recess, the justices proved they can act quite quickly and recklessly when it comes to violating the terms of a controversial opinion they handed down only days earlier. It’s as if the loaner car the court gave us in the Hobby Lobby ruling broke down mere blocks from the shop.

the court pointed to a workaround in the law for nonprofits: If there are religious objections to a medical treatment, third parties will provide coverage to the employees.

100's of non-profits, and now for profit corporations, have been given a stay, and are continuing to be allowed to refuse to grant 3rd parties to cover the benefits that they object to.

Yet in an unsigned emergency order granted Thursday evening, the very same court said that this very same workaround it had just praised was also unconstitutional, that this workaround also burdened the religious freedom of religious employers. Overnight, the cure has become the disease. Having explicitly promised that Hobby Lobby would go no further than Hobby Lobby, the court went back on its word, then skipped town for the summer.

Again where are you getting this from?...an owner with religious values can reflect those values in the way he runs his company. But he's not a king, he can't demand that his subjects follow the same religion. More than half the US is women, this ruling just made every company be able to control whether or not female workers can have access to contraceptives in their health care plan. Whether the owner is Christian or not, it would be foolish for a company to not save the money and so women across the country will soon not be able to have access to contraceptives, whether they're religious or not.
PS: No one wants to do business in the US because it costs too much, not whatever fairy tale reason you were thinking of.

HL health care plan DOES pay for contraceptives. Just not the morning after pill and abortions. So its not like HL is acting like it thinks people are not having sex or anything "prudish" and old fashioned.

None of that matters. SCOTUS ruled that ANY closely held corporation could opt out of the entire contraception mandate. Many Catholic employers DO deny ALL contraception.

ETA

Just not the morning after pill and abortions.

The contraception mandate NEVER included abortion.

LOL

You finally discovered that.

Looks like the HHS needs to get busy.

What can the HHS do now?

There must be something they can do.

Then you are debating at a handicap with a closed mind and failing to be truly "DIVERSIVE" in your expression,relegating ANYTHING you would say as only subjective ,unless one is a feminist as well.

Do you know the #1 drug bought from the pharmacies across the border?

Viagra.

For men's "Health issues".

Men should pay for their own dang Viagra or get their girlfriends to pay for it.

The thing about all this sex related accessory stuff that has nothing to do with sexual health really. If its an illness, to numerous to name them all then fine. Pregnancy management and erection supplements not to mention KY ect, should be paid for by the persons involved.

Again with the closed mind. Repetition your thing?

The highest court in the American government is forcing women to be subjected to religious rule.

It very straight forward

So we are back in the inquisition?
PART of coverage has been removed not all of it. THERE IS NO religious power in charge at all only western traditions of INFLUENCE.
They can still OFF the kid earlier and keep their figures intact...

Can you explain to me what this means? What coverage do you believe has been "removed", and from whom?

But what can the HHS do ?

The ACA must have something in it.

I don't think that the Department of Health and Human Services has the authority to DO anything about it. It has to go to "committee". Ergo, the Democratic Bill being submitted that attempts to nullify the ruling, not that it'll pass, but they have to appear to be doing something.

The Court if forcing the Government to abide by the U.S. Constitution and Statutes.

The ACA, IRS, and HHS in particular threw the first stone.

No "Religious" laws have been created by the Court.

The IRS and HHS made many rules regarding religious separations and exemptions and by doing that, they caused legal harm to "for profit" people and businesses.

a reply to: windword

But HHS made the initial rulings establishing exemptions.

Those were unConstitutional.

a reply to: xuenchen

No "Religious" laws have been created by the Court.

The "Relgious" law was created by Congress when they ratified the Religious Freedom and Restoration Act. SCOTUS created the precedent that "Closely Held Corporation" can have sincerely held "Religious Beliefs".

But HHS made the initial rulings establishing exemptions.

Those were unConstitutional.

The court never ruled any exemptions were unconstitutional.

The Court granted an injunction for religious entities that object informing 3rd partied of their status, until the cases can be heard, next SCOTUS session.

a reply to: windword

The court never ruled any exemptions were unconstitutional.

Yet.

But then again, they ruled that the rules against for-profit companies can now include religious exemptions.

Big difference?

a reply to: xuenchen

But then again, they ruled that the rules against for-profit companies can now include religious exemptions.

They ruled no such thing!

They ruled that for-profit, closely held corporations with sincerely held beliefs QUALIFY FOR exemptions, under religious objections, that are already in place for non-profit religious.

The precedent being set here is in regards to the Religious Freedom and Restoration Act and for profit corporate entitles being "people" protected under the ACT.
