(19,497 posts)I suppose he could gut the employees' hours and dump them into government exchanges as many others are doing but hey -- he's Catholic -- many believe it is better to dump all those employees into the outright jobless pool and stop collecting tax revenues; anything except allow someone who doesn't think properly to live their lives as they want.
BTW -- before anyone wants to launch an unfounded screed about me wanting to kill women (I'm a woman) by defending Catholic doctrine (I'm not a Catholic) understand that even Catholics accept that abortion to save the mother's life is permissible. In the matter of pro-choice they believe they should not be made to financially support that choice.
As a Pro-Choice advocate myself I actually agree with them. If my choices are wholly dependent upon other people providing that thing for me then it ceases to be my choice. Whatever they provide they can take away and that is an inherent threat to my freedom of choice.
