Supreme Court to hear challenge to Obamacare contraceptive mandate
The case is being brought by an order of nuns called Little Sisters of the Poor.
At issue is the law’s requirement that group health plans provide a full range of contraceptive coverage to women at no cost. Lawyers for the nuns as well as other non-profit religious groups say the so-called contraceptive mandate forces them to either violate their religious beliefs by providing “abortifacients and contraceptives” or pay ruinous fines. Although the Obama administration has offered them an accommodation meant to respect their religious objections, the groups argue it is not good enough because it still makes them complicit in providing the coverage.

If I never had a fire, why do I need fire insurance? Even Medicare prescribes the pill to save lives for the 99% of women who use birth control. http://obamacarefacts.com/obamacare-birth-control/

Exactly! For cons who are so upset about abortion you’d think they would understand the best way to prevent an unwanted pregnancy is with wildly available birth control.

Then why are they not feeling “complicit” in providing coverage for men to have vasectomies? Why are women the only ones who are discriminated against like this in family planning when they are the ones who have all the responsibility of carrying a child?
These nuns are just horny old bitches who are jealous that they’ve never experienced a man and don’t want any women to have that experience safely either.

Dammit, you are making it more difficult to slut-shame women! I’m suing!

They don’t want people to know how many of them take advantage of the coverage
