Does the court's ruling address, in any way, whether Hobby Lobby's employee insurance will cover vasectomy or Viagra? Or does the decision impact only female employees?

(42,307 posts)The decision is only for contaception and can't include other medical treatments. Very Bush v Gore. I wonder if /when that will be challenged.

Here is a further attempt at qualification: This decision concerns only the contraceptive mandate and should not be understood to mean that all insurance mandates, that is for blood transfusions or vaccinations, necessarily fail if they conflict with an employer's religious beliefs.

(14,255 posts)insurance? Maybe what is need is a beefed-up national network of free clinics for this sort of thing, staffed by doctors who can work off some of the student loans they carry, or something like that.

(13,933 posts)One of the rationale, as I read the interpretation on SCOTUSblog, was that the government could pay for the contraception, thus making the mandate not the least restrictive way to provide it.
But that's irrelevant given this congress, who will block funding

(20,840 posts)It appears to be heavily slanted into "We hate Woman" batsh* crazy decision file. Right next to the abortion one from last week. This is just a wow I can't believe they decided this book.
Democrats should RUN ON THIS ISSUE!!
The court hates woman, period.
