Car dealer challenging Affordable Care Act with lawsuit over morning after pill

http://fox4kc.com/2013/12/04/local-car-dealer-challenging-affordable-care-act-with-lawsuit/

"Randy Reed employs nearly 200 people and has several insurance plans, but under the ACA he would have to provide services that go against his religious beliefs.
“Our whole family, we all felt unanimously, we had to do something to take a stand on this,” explained Reed.
The stand is against the part of the insurance plan that would make the ‘morning after’ pill available to his employees.
“For my wife and I, we’re pro-life, we feel strongly that way, I feel it would be wrong for us to pay for somebody to terminate a pregnancy.” said Reed."

perfectly capable of following their own religious beliefs even while providing insurance plans that may have something they object to covered? It's so f-ing stupid and I've just had it with these idiots.
