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.


Dayum!! And I always thought that when I use protection with my girlfriend, it's so that it prevents her from getting pregnant, not from having to get an abortion! Maybe it works differently in Europe and in America?

Personally, I think using contraception is a private decision and shouldn't be covered by insurance at all. It's totally absurd. It's your personal decision what you want to do, why should other people pay for it? It's not life saving, it's not preventing any kind of an illness.

 

PS. KungKras, the world needs a strong republican president after how Obama is humiliating himself and his country on the international scene. The last president who was played and fooled this much was probably Carter. Obama is one huge mistake. And the argument about more wars under republicans - I somehow haven't noticed any signs of America slowing down with wars between Obama and Bush, so this argument holds no water. Let alone the fact that the age old saying "if you want to have peace, get ready for war" is and always will be true. McCain would make for a bad ass president, but he's probably too old at this point :-/

I was looking at it from a pro-life point of view. As in the more widely used birth control is, the less likely people are to get pregnant and consequently less abortions. I've heard critics say that the types of contraception banned in this case were those that could've been seen as such, and was trying to work off of that, saying that they aren't abortions and in fact prevent them. I'm not very good with words sometimes.
