And out in yahoo land, the right wing consensus still is that contraception was introduced into the election as a decoy by Obama to distract from the economy. Could it be that Ryan is trying to distract from the appalling 47% comments from the tickets' header?

Actually, I have a problem with the whole argument. Since when did an institution have a religion? I mean a hospital may be funded and run by a religion, but does that hospital, in and of itself, have a religion? Granted, the eat more chicken folks are trying to establish that corporations, like people, have a religion, but really?

For that matter, for something as universal as healthcare, why should the religion of the employer set the benefits of the employee on federally mandated benefits? Could a firm run by Jehovah Witnesses or Christian Scientists deny letting their employee. What if some big family firm decides to convert to a "no medical" sect? Does that mean thousands of employees have no medical benefits at all.

Republican logic is scary. When they talk about freedom, it usually means the employers spend less on their employees.
