Senator Casey Stirs Local Debate Over Contraception Vote [View all]

[Curmudgeoness]

"Senator Casey voted on the Senate floor today to proceed with a debate on an amendment offered by Senator Blunt that would have allowed any employer to deny contraceptive coverage on moral or religious grounds.

"The Senator, who is up for re-election, has been active in health care issues by looking for ways for Americans to reconcile their moral and religious views with a desire to ensure that all Americans receive quality health care."

Sigh. I am devastated. I have always been a supporter of Senator Casey. I always thought that he was a supporter of the same beliefs that I have.

But he has not stood with women, and as a woman, I am not going to stand with him. I will no longer make any effort to work for him and support him. This hurts.

So he can support businesses denying whatever benefits they choose on moral and religious views, even if the people working at their "businesses" (and they are businesses) are not of the same religion as they are. Will they put the brakes on this when it gets to no blood transfusions covered, or no hospital visits, or only treatment by snakes covered? Where does this end? And now we have the embarrassment of having one of our own Democrats being part of the insanity.

Sigh.
