Churches are a special case, because they operate on a non-profit basis. And yes, YOUR religious freedoms go beyond the church... but it does not extend to being forced upon your employees. Tell me, if I get a job working for a muslim, should they be able to force me to do prayers 5 times daily, facing Mecca? By your reasoning, my refusal to do so impacts upon their religious freedom, rather than being a case of me exercising my own. How is the case of paying for health insurance that covers contraception any different? |
You are right being employed by someone doesn't allow them to enforce their beliefs on you. How does not paying for someone elses contraceptives amount to forcing your religious views on someone? Forcing your employees to pray to Mecca =/= not paying to abort someone's indescretion in their personal life (which I thought we wanted other people out of anyways).
The idea here is that currently under US law it is legal to kill your unborn baby before it has fully incubated in the womb (state law dependant) but that employers have the right to not pay for it. In what way is this an employer forcing their religion on someone? In fact, were they to affirm the opposite of the ruling, THAT would be forcing ones views upon another.
