Earlier
today, five men agreed that closely held corporations with anti-birth
control religious beliefs cannot be required to provide contraceptive
coverage to female employees. Corporations are people, my friend. Women?
Not so much.
The decision to declare women Unpeople was a narrow one; the five men agreed that corporations (people) shouldn't be able to use Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby
to justify discriminating against anyone except women (lesser
people-ish entities), and won't be able to use it to deny other health
care besides contraception. The same religious exemption to the
Affordable Care Act that applies to nonprofit organizations also applies
to for-profit companies controlled by a small group of people who think
birth control is black magic. This ruling applies to whore pills only.
Not to blood transfusions, AIDS retrovirals, vaccines, treating
infections caused by getting a SATAN RULES tattoo with an infected
needle at an unsafe tattoo parlor, antibiotics purchased to fight off a
nasty case of the clap caught while raw dogging a stranger in a bar
bathroom. Just birth control. No matter why a woman needs it.
