Senator Boxer warned yesterday that if the HHS contraception mandate was repealed it would set a dangerous precedence of religious rights trumping the right to be insured. On MSNBC's Politics Nation with Al Sharpton last night, Boxer affirmed that under the proposed amendment proposed by Sen. Roy Blunt, an employer would not be forced by the government to pay for medical practices against his religion. "I mean, are they serious? Sharpton exclaimed, "How do you make a law where an employer can decide his own religious beliefs violate your right to be insured?" "Oh Absolutely," Boxer said,

Hey Babs!
Did those “insurance rights” originate in the Bible or the Constitution?
I distinctly remember an insurance clause, right before the establishment clause.
</sarcasm>
All you need to know about the mentality of leftists: Positive “Rights” > Negative Rights.
I hate these enemies.
What a conversation that must have been. Sorry I missed it...........
Two liberals expressing their outrage over this birth control issue.
What channel is MSNBC again? I seem to miss the important liberal oratory on the issues of day, time after time.....................
Enemy within.
This is one very deeply confused woman.
Reminds me of those "men's magazines" from years ago at the barbershop that featured Nazi Sex Slaves on the covers, and then you opened up the mag to read about some ol'gal in a rest home who used to model, but she had her memories.
Boxer doesn't even have her memories.
Boxer has lost her tiny little mind. The “right” to insurance trumps religious rights?! She needs to list the martyrs to insurance rights throughout the ages.
(sound of flipping pages)
Lessee, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, right to keep and bear arms, right to be secure in my personal effects, Constitution is the supreme law of the land...
Nope, nothing in my copy of the Constitution about any right to be insured.
She should hang for treason for all that she has done.

A man made right over a natural or are we allowed to say as our founders said a God given right. The difference being that you can stop a man made right but you can’t stop a God given right.
“How do you make a law where an employer can decide his own religious beliefs violate your right to be insured?”
Everyone can be insured. Buy a policy. Go ahead. No on is stopping you. Not even the Catholic Church.
Why can the Rev’m Al, on the other hand, violate my religious freedom and conscience by making me pay for his b*tch’s abortion?
The trouble with Darwinism is that it doesn’t work fast enough...for some.
No where does the Constitution guarantee a right to religious freedom.
Anyone who says otherwise is a racist, sexist, homophobic member of the 1% wanting to get out of paying their fair share.
Now you little people go pay your taxes - we need raises. :)
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of insurance, or prohibiting the selling thereof; or abridging the freedom of insurance, or of insurance agents; or the right of the people peaceably to purchase insurance, and to petition the Government to mandate that it be supplied to them for free. In all cases in which insurance rights conflict with religious rights, insurance rights shall trump religious rights."
Agreed. And US law schools continue to fill the heads of ill-informed students with this ridiculous nonsense each day. To hell with the history of the constitution and what its text actually says.
It's in the Constitution -- didn't you learn about "life, liberty and the pursuit of free sex without consequences" in school?
This stupid woman need to have the First Amendment tattooed under her f’ing eyelids.
