Despite my disdain for for the kind of people who like to stand on sidewalks and scream at other people, I come too close to being a free speech purist (one of the few things I come close to being a purist on) to disagree with that ruling. Certainly people have to right to walk down the sidewalk (and enter buildings) unimpeded but they don't have the right to censor those around them just because they don't like the message.

Conversely, however, I believe that people also have the right to stand on a sidewalk outside of church holding a sign that says: "your god is fictional, Jesus is just a dead carpenter, so stop being a dick to people."

My only problem with the ruling is they left in place the 250 foot barrier they enjoy around the Supreme Court building and their homes. If you protest inside that barrier the US Marshall service takes you to jail.

How can any reasonable person disagree with this:
Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary, said the court’s decision “jeopardizes the health of women employed by these companies” and that “women should make personal health care decisions for themselves, rather than their bosses deciding for them.”

Where does this ruling declare that a woman can't use birth control, IUD's, morning after pills, etc.? They can still make personal health care decisions for themselves, but can't force the costs of those decisions on their bosses in cases where it goes against their bosses religious beliefs

They can still go out and purchase birth control, can't they? They can still use IUD's and "morning after" pills, right?

Uninterestingly, I heard a while ago that it doesn't say he was a carpenter in the Bible.

Women employed at low wages can't generally afford $600 a year in extra expenses.

There is a way to change that, isn't there?

That something is difficult for some isn't a good reason for them to be given out at another's expense.

That is correct.

SCOTUS got it right on both rulings today.

Don't get to cocky. The Supreme Court has gotten it right before - Dred Scott, Plessy vs Ferguson - only to have a bunch of crybaby liberals reverse those decisions later on. [8|]

Not with all the cutting to planned parenthood and other people who supply low cost contraceptives to low income women.Its not at someone elses expense, the women are paying for their own expenses when they pay their insurance. they are covered by the ACA.
Why is contraception the only medical choice disallowed, you dont get to pick and choose where your tax/insurance money goes to.well unless you use religion as a reason.
Can you imagine Obama trying to get a bill thru congress making all BC types available wether or not your boss says no you cant have it?
LMFAO
especially since just in the last six months that 733 provisions to bills by the repukes are limiting womens health choices even farther.

Actually it applies to all forms of contraception. SCOTUS issued a clarification to all lower courts today.
