Agree

We all have a “Right to bear arms”

Does that mean the govt or police, or private company has to provide arms?

Am I not understanding this women rights issue??

Yes! Unless my employer provides me with a gun - they are trampling on my 2nd Amendment right! What? No, they are not?

Well then, can it be said that an employer declining to provide birth control is trampling upon their right/ability to get birth control if they want it?

Does someone not only have the right to something, but the right to have it paid for by someone else?

Are these those “positive” rights 0bama and Ginsburg think so highly of?

Sorry, but as they helpfully point out, our Constitution only has the “negative” rights of what the government cannot do.

I don't see listed, among the LIMITED and ENUMERATED powers of the U.S. federal government - the power to force purchase of insurance - OR the power to enforce that employers purchase insurance for their employees, etc, etc.
