WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says women's health will be jeopardized by a Supreme Court's decision that allows corporations with religious objections to opt out of a requirement that they cover contraceptives.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Monday that women should make personal health decisions for themselves.

Yeah, I am willing to bet more women eat than use contraceptives. Why isn’t that now free?

What happened to goverment staying out of bedrooms? Not only do the democrats want in but now tgey want you boss in there too. All the court sais was buy your own damn contaceptives. Last I checked they are cheap and plentiful. Heck, theyre even free courtesy of the tax payer at a county clinic or planned parenthood abortion mill.

and a woman cannot decide not to buy insurance or to buy insurance without contraceptive and abortion coverage? How does that square with making personal decisions for themselves?

” Is my employer denying me the right to eat because it doesn’t give me free groceries? “

Need a pool for how long before Obama rolls on this.

Pool should be based on how many doors in the White House get kicked in before he rolls.

Exactly what I wrote elsewhere.

The premise that anything to do with having sex is “medical” is full of BS.

Insurance should NEVER cover abortion, birth control pills, and certainly not Viagra. None of these is “medical” and has anything to do with living or dying, or being able to do all the things that actually are at the root of individual life.

My sister died of extremely rare, very deadly breast cancer - not the kind everyone thinks of.

THAT is a “women’s health” issue, not killing babies or keeping them from coming.

“White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Monday that women should make personal health decisions for themselves”

Exactly, I agree with this statement. I don’t know what there was in the decision that prohibits a woman from making decisions for themselves about their personal health. You would think that it is prohibited if somebody else doesn’t pay for it.

Women working for Hobby Lobby: If you want that contraception, reach into your dang purse and buy it!

But then again, why should they be expected to make those decisions when, according to Fluke the slut, they evidently are unable to resist copulating indiscriminately.

The most absurd slogan I’ve seen is, “My birth control is none of your business,” even as they demand that others pay for something that is supposedly none of their business.

Viagra could be considered medical because erectile dysfunction is classified as a medical disorder. But menstruation is not in most cases considered a disorder, but is the body functioning NORMALLY.

I guess Liberal women are dumber than dirt after all. Can’t make their way to a pharmacy with a script from their gyn and pay for their own birth control. It’s all just too much for them?!?!!

Honestly at this point I’m about to support making oral contraceptive over the counter. Let these women who can’t imagine being responsible for financing their own sex lives figure out if they are high risk for taking them.

Ridiculous statement from the WH considering prescription birth control is much riskier for women than not taking anything. On the other hand what can you expect from an administration that views pregnancy as a disease.
