Supreme Court women lash out at birth control decision

[Zillamaster55]

[quote]Washington (CNN) -- It was a disappointing week for the women of the Supreme Court.
All three -- Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor -- were on the losing side of rulings involving women's reproductive health.
First came the Hobby Lobby decision, in which the high court decided 5-4 that the government cannot force certain for-profit companies to offer contraception coverage under Obamacare.

Then another decision emerged late on Thursday in which a Chicago-area evangelical college won a temporary victory over the requirement in the 2010 health care law that religious non-profits provide contraception insurance to their workers.
Wheaton College objected to potential fines if it refused to provide coverage or sign a release form, arguing that doing so would be morally wrong. The Supreme Court said the college didn't have to do either for now.[/quote]

Wow, you'd think when all the women on the Supreme Court, all the ones who actually have experience with birth control, oppose the decision, maybe the dudes would listen to them. Guess not.

Can't Thomas or Scalia suddenly die of a heart attack so Obama can appoint a sassy black independent woman as the next SCJ?

Why should a company have to pay for contraceptives?

Why shouldn't it, when it is still happily paying for Vasectomies and Viagra?

FYI: the insurance plan Hobby Lobby used to provide before ACA included those 4 "abortion causing" medications

it wasn't until ACA that they said "oh no this is against our beliefs"
