HYPOCRISY: Think this over, gents

Regarding the issue of birth control coverage and religious employers, I thought the issue was having the employer groups OFFER the option of contraceptives, then the employee could make the choice of whether or not to take them. It is NOT forcing the employee to buy or use the birth control — it would be a choice. However, as we see over and over again, any kind of choice for women is a really, really bad word for the conservative right (wrong) in any context.

So if her choice is not to increase her family, women employees of religious employers have to pay for the pills themselves, while women working in every other kind of company in the country do have that free coverage.

And what about Viagra? Since men write the rules and legislation I’m sure it is always covered in all insurance plans, including the one that Rush Limbaugh uses — what a hypocrite.
