Status: offline 		DETROIT -- The founder of Domino's Pizza is suing the federal government over mandatory contraception coverage in the health care law.

Tom Monaghan, a devout Roman Catholic, says contraception isn't health care but a "gravely immoral" practice.

He filed a lawsuit Friday in federal court. It also lists as a plaintiff Domino's Farms, a Michigan office park complex that Monaghan owns.

Monaghan offers health insurance that excludes contraception and abortion for employees. The new federal law requires employers to offer insurance including contraception coverage or risk fines.

Monaghan says the law violates his rights, and is asking a judge to strike down the mandate. There are similar lawsuits pending nationwide.

A message left Saturday for Monaghan's attorney, Richard Thompson, was not immediately returned.

Is this round 2? or 104?

Ummmm... does Dominos currently provide health insurance to any of its employees? If so, does it exclude birth control? I doubt it. In other words, this "outrage" is just an excuse to be full of shit and oppose government-granted access to health care.

The notion that an employer can exclude certain forms of health care on moral grounds seems to be a novel idea. I've done some searching and can find no evidence of any employer doing so before the passage of the ACA.

Ahem

Ken, I dont think anyone has before, but they are certainly trying now.

This is no different, in my opinion. They are just trying every court it seems in an attempt at finding one that may be sympathetic enough.

This sounds more like a shitfit about birth control coming under health legislation than an anti Kenyan tantrum, at least...

ACA passed and was upheld by SCOTUS. I'm not sure why companies are fighting something upheld by SCOTUS.

Then why are they refusing to given women the right to choose?
I don't remember ever seeing a secular excuse for that one.
