(18,614 posts)If the Roberts court made a conservative decision based on their religious beliefs, then that'd a first. This court has consistently made rulings that offer corporate relief from various government regulation, and this is no exception.
Several years ago Roberts even frustrated the religious right by stating that he had "no interest" in revisiting Roe/Wade, but you seem to believe that he and other cons have deep held convictions when it comes to birth control pills, presumably because they hate women. That this ruling provides a loophole for huge corporations to save money by denying workers expensive health care is not a coincidence.
This decision is a bow tied gift to companies that want to ignore the expense of Obamacare, not a frontal assault against women. This is backed up by every legitimate pundit who offers a comment. DU seems to be the only place I can find where it's being interpreted as only a women's rights issue. Today we read that corporations predictably are now inquiring if they can use the Roberts decision to discriminate against the LGBT community in general.
Denigrating gender comments and assumptions that I'm too ignorant to be aware of the political environment does not strengthen your argument, but you go ahead if it makes you feel better. I've stated my case and refuse to reiterate for the sole sake of argument.
