Sex-Crazed Co-eds Going Broke Buying Birth Control

[Lemur]

What you were left with was a woman complaining that she and her peers couldn't afford to have consequence free sex while enrolled in one of the top law schools in the country.

And if you think that's how it's playing in the country at large, you're experiencing epistemic closure.

I do not like forcing religious institutions to purchase that which they consider morally objectionable. If you don't like it, work someplace else.

So if the Hare Krishnas buy a majority stake in Taco Bell, they should be able to omit any healthcare they please, as per the Blunt Amendment. Seriously? And the invisible hand of the market will sort it out? This is your proposal?

No religious institution is being asked to meet minimal standards for healthcare. None. Not a single one. However, their subsidiaries, which are not religious institutions, but rather religious-affiliated businesses, are being asked to play by the same rules as everyone else. These are the wet sticks the GOP is desperately rubbing together to ignite a war on religion.

Nevermind that 26 states already have such a requirement in place. Nevermind that a majority of Catholic-affiliated businesses already offer contraception as part of their plans.

When Xiahou says "there's no there there," I fear he is uncannily correct, although not in the way he intends.
