I don't know about you guys but shouldn't stuff like anticontraceptions and abortions be considered luxurys. Like nobody is forcing you to have relations and so why should other people pay for the stuff you choose to do. Insurance paying for abortions is like insurance paying for liposuction

This decision has nothing to do with abortions and never did. This decision was about certain types of contraceptives that prevent women from having to get abortions. It should be noted that most types of contraceptives were found cosher -- just not the morning after's or the IUD's. So it seems to me like they're picking and choosing which forms of contraceptives they have an issue with. It should also be noted that both vasectomies for men and viagra are still available under their insurance and was never made into a big issue. I think the larger problem is what this means for the future. And whether we will see other, more religious companies take more invasive steps.

The problem they had was with birth control that prevented a fertilized egg from attaching to the wall of the uterus (eg, morning after pill, IUDs) which they considered a form of abortion

I realize that, I just chose not to say it because it's so ridiculous. ANd even if I agreed with their logic, it's not like they were ever handing out the procedures on a silver platter to begin with; they went of their way to make sure that the insurance companies wouldn't cover something they were already going to cover.

And what I think people who say "It's only banning 4 types of contraceptives" elsewhere on the internet misss out on is that there are people who hold religious objections to any form of birth control and even the most basic medical procedures. It's only a matter of time until another court rules in favor of those people because of the actions of the supreme court.

I am right there with you.  The whole thing is idiotic, and I find indefensable legally.  This supreme court's majority has no interest in legal justice, only an interest in being a boon for the Christian Conservative portion of this country, to the exclusion of everyone else.
