Oh, the things that our tax dollars are wasted on...is anybody else amazed?

Question

Today, an appeals court handed down a verdict that secular workplaces must, in keeping with the Affordable Care Act, pay for access to birth control, even if the company owners are religious. 

"The Majority thinks it important that corporations lack the anthropomorphic qualities of individual religious devotion–they do not pray, worship, observe sacraments or take other religiously motivated actions separate and apart from the intention and direction of their individual actors.‟

In other words, forcing a *company* to do something doesn't infringe on anybody's religion because companies themselves do not have a religion.

Regardless of your position on the AFA, this part should at least have been obvious. Why on earth did we need a court to figure this out?

B/c birth control is not the only part of health insurance. Where's the cry for a health insurance company that does not provide coverage for b.c.?
A huge percentage of Americans, including those of some Christian denom., use b.c....if the company owner has a problem with it (and most do not really), it has been shown they have others ways to discriminate.
However, I doubt they really care-they just want to btch and pretend their victims. Poor babies...let me cry you a river.

Because irrational religious believers ignored the obvious, and challenged the AFA in court.

This is the same mentality that has wasted 37(?) votes in Congress to try and repeal the ACA.   They know it is going to fail, but they do it anyway.


It is stupidity.

I gave up being amazed a few years ago. Just think if we all wasted money like that we would all be homeless and starving.

how about 100 billion dollars to send RC cars to mars to try and find water for the sole purpose to bolster a failed theory
