Employers can deny birth control for women: religious grounds

If only there was a way, even just for a day, men could bear the brunt of childbirth, much less everything else women endure with our reproductive systems.
It amazes me that total strangers always feel they have the right, (and obviously, they do, because we've given them the elected power) to intervene on our bodies. Why are other people so interested on what happens in total strangers private lives?

Because Gourd says women don't have rights. Get back into the kitchen and get scrubbing. No wine sipping while you're in there, either; you'll hurt the baby.

I don’t agree with the courts’ decision on grounds that the consequences are too severe. I love when women use birth control and honestly there are a host of health benefits to using it.
This is unamerican. We should take to the streets!

I completely agree. I think this decision is unethical.
I'm carrying on a discussion, not agreeing with the decision.
My guess, and that's all it is, is that doctors may start prescribing it for "off label" usages, such as "for acne" or "menstrual cramps" as opposed specifically for "birth control" as a way to protect women and try to help them and circumvent this ridiculous ruling.
Remember, not everyone will be affected, - only the companies (and thus employees) owned by religious zealots. But that number, whatever it is, is still too many. Women's rights need to be protected, and this is like taking a hundred steps back.
Putzes.
