If there are any women out there who are unable to get birth control because their employer refuses to cover their healthcare on religious grounds, then I duly apologize to those women.

I can't imagine where that would be. But I'll take your word for it that such places and situations exist.

BTW, do you have healthcare? If so, does it cover your condom purchases? I must have been missing something along the way. Probably because I've never had medical insurance. Never could afford it. Good to be back in a national health providing country.

And glad to know you don't feel persecuted.
