Court strikes down mandate for birth control in ObamaCare

The Hill ^ | November 1, 2013 | Julian Hattem

[Theodore R.]

Both sets of “good news” are temporary and hanging by a thread.

Thank goodness.

Some more birth control administered to certain elements of our population WOULD help avert our ‘Idiocracy’ future...but I would no sooner vote for its implementation under Obamacare than I would vote for the Enabling - I mean Patriot Act under Bush. It has ‘gross misuse potential’ written all over it in orange marker.

Conservatives are doing a horrible job of presenting their objections to this part of Obamacare! Don't you think most companies are glad to supply birth control pills to their employees? Don't you think they're willing to supply most forms of birth control/contraception?

ABORTIFACIENTS are the problem! Why won't the ones debating the issue use that word, instead of the generic "contraceptives"! Even the Catholic Church spokespersons argue only against the "contraceptive" requirement. I've never heard one of them distinguish between regular birth control and abortifacients! (I know - Obama and Dems knew full well that "officially" the Church doesn't approve of birth control and they'd be hard pressed to allow one and not the other.)

Abortifacients are so benign, they're now available in vending machines! (So scary - but that's another debate!) Why can't people who want them, buy them for themselves? It's a step too far to not allow employers any say in providing them!

[REPANDPROUDOFIT]

Which insurance companies will now offer insurance without birth control coverage?

Why does it have to be a complete package - all birth control or no birth control? Why can't these employers just be excused from providing abortifacients, while still providing traditional birth control? Requiring that they provide abortifacients was/is a step too far!

So does this mean, as a male, I no longer get access (or have to pay) to (for) abortion services, in the case of rape or incest, or any other sexual deviation???

What a relief!!!

[GeronL]

Why does an employer have to provide birth control? That sounds pretty ridiculous to me

[REPANDPROUDOFIT]

I wonder if they will abide by this ruling just like they do the ruling by John Roberts. I’ve never once heard a Democrat use the term “TAX” to refer to the penalties/fines in Obamacare.

[Foolsgold]

This is like requiring auto companies to give “free” cars to minorities or McDonalds to hand out “free” Happy Meals to EBT holders as a price of doing business. I understand the reasons for doing so—buying the votes of single women mostly—but the precedent is jaw dropping. What other things can the federal government force businesses to give away in order to stay in business?

Or telling Doctors they Must take care of Medicaid/Medicare as proposed by demonrat Democrat delegate candidate Kathleen Murphy AS POSTED ON Drudge.

Whats chief inJustice John RobsUS gonna do—call it a contraceptive tax?

Depends on how much cash Soros puts in his next briefcase.

[COBOL2Java]

This is great news... that is until Chief Justice Roberts morphs it into another constitutional tax--

Have no fear...Soros' financier has the briefcase at the ready...

---

...of course, considering the state of US finances, this go-around Roberts may have negotiated for something a little more reliable...

[COBOL2Java]

IIRC, there is no “severability” clause in the ACA... therefor by logic and reason, the ehtire law is unconstituitional... how does Roberts CJ save that?

He'll channel the spirit of his hero Roger B. Taney and come up with another piece of legal legerdemain to support his overlords.

Because it is the only way that they will know enough about you to take total control of your life, not just your medical insurance. After all, the SEIU thugs need enough information to be able to completely steal your identity, right?

[RobbyS]

I think that it was the regulation that was struck.
