Religious exemptions for certain birth control medications should have been granted from the outset, without SCOTUS.
Disagree. I look at it through the opposite side of the prism, unsurprisingly. The employees should be protected from the religion of the guy at the top, not the guy at the top given reign to push his religious beliefs on the employees.
I'm deeply skeptical of religious exemptions as well since I think they are a cop-out. In this instance, the health department trumps the religion of some guy in Oklahoma or Kentucky somewhere who owns a business and wants to discriminate.
Well, get ready more of these, folks! And hope against hope that one of these five will resign in the foreseeable future. Heh. Won't hold my breath.
Seems like a bizarrely narrow decision given the scope of the logic that it's premised on. I mean, employers can refuse to buy contraception in the case of a religious objection, but a similar religious objection to some other medical treatment holds no water?
Smacks of Kennedy honestly. Yeah, and also one kind of business versus another kind of business; this is an instance of religious expression by a company, but that is not. This company can do it, but that company cannot.
Pbbbbbbbbt. Bizzarre-o.
