The Supreme court just ruled that the federal government actually can't massively overreach is power and force employers to buy contraception against their religious convictions. 


you need to think a bit beyond the surface level of something...for example suppose I own a business and I don't believe in medicine, does this not now mean I don't have to offer a healthcare plan with prescription medicine coverage? expand a bit further, suppose I do not believe in *standard medicine* and instead believe homeopathic "medicine" should be covered instead. now explode it...I don't believe in doctors, only GAWD ALMIGHTY can heal his flock. now what? am I not forced to offer ANY healthcare? maybe just a pamphlet to church instead? :D


Well I say you shouldn't have to.  It's your business do with it what you please.  Your employees don't have to work for you.

But still it's not a valid comparison because pregnancy is not a disease


that's avoiding the issue here. the fact is that employers DO have to provide a healthcare plan to their employees. so you need to address what type of offering is needed. you seem to be in agreement with all of my scenarios...that's alarming. some nutbag business owner can dictate that jesus can heal me when I get sick?

the comparison is perfectly valid for the EXACT reasons I cited, this is a slippery slope. this abortion pill thing is a smokescreen for the opportunities this opens, I couldn't care less about the abortion pills. my concern is what other types of religious challenges will obtain.

Bolded.  Shouldn't THAT be what alarms you?  You're willing to overlook the root of the problem to address a "slippery slope"?

It is a slippery slope, I agree.... but speration of church and state is a lot easier when then state keeps its nose out of shit it shouldn't be in (in the first place).

 

Bold 2.  This is not a disease, it's a preventative measure for RECREATION.  But still, I agree slippery slope.  The best fix is to not force ANY insurance on anyone, and certainly not force it to be tied to an employer.  That way you can get an insurance plan that fits your needs.  Some include emergencies only (20s), some add preventative care (40s), and some even add preventative recreational measures, etc.  Free market!
