Now corporations soon to have "freedom of religion"? Really?

It can, if you want to pay for it. I don't.

Interestingly enough, your dollars that you put into the health insurance collective WILL pay for Viagra for old white men who can't get boners.

It just won't pay for the birth control that the women they bone need.

BTW...........................WTF is up with this "rape insurance" that is going on. Does a woman actually plan to get raped?

Viagra is a medication prescribed for heart disease. It has a side effect that also treats male erectile dysfunction. Birth control pills on the other hand only treat one condition, pregnancy. If a man is prescribed Viagra to treat his sexual disabilities, I certainly don't want to pay for it. He should pay for it himself. Just as a woman should have her sex partner kick in a few bucks for the birth control.

Actually, hormonal birth control pills can be used to treat ovarian cysts and other medical conditions. And....................can you provide a link (from a real medical site) that shows Viagra is used to treat heart conditions?

There is no such thing as "rape insurance." That name is just as much a lie as "partial birth abortion."

Both chambers of the Michigan legislature have passed a measure banning insurance coverage for abortion in private health plans unless women purchase a separate rider. And because of the way the legislation was put forward, it is set to become law despite the objections of both the state’s Democratic minority and the veto of the Republican governor.

In a charged hearing Wednesday, Michigan Senate Minority Leader Gretchen Whitmer told the story of her own rape and called the legislation “one of the most misogynistic proposals I’ve ever seen in the Michigan Legislature,” according to the Detroit Free Press. The fact that women are required to plan in advance to have an abortion, Whitmer said, “tells women who are raped … that they should have thought ahead and bought special insurance for it.”

“The fact that rape insurance is even being discussed by this body is repulsive,” she added.

“There are people in this chamber who have lived through things you can’t even imagine,” said Whitmer, referring to a colleague who had a wanted pregnancy that ended in abortion. Then she tearfully told her own story.


“I’m about to tell you something I’ve not shared with many people in my life. But over 20 years ago I was a victim of rape. And thank god it didn’t result in a pregnancy. Because I can’t imagine going through what I went through and then having to consider what to do about an unwanted pregnancy from an attacker,” she said. Whitmer continued, “If this were law then and I had become pregnant, I would not be able to have coverage because of this. How extreme does this measure need to be? I’m not the only woman in our state that has faced that horrible circumstance…. I think you need to see the face of the women you are impacting by this vote today.”

Women don't plan to get raped, but, if they are raped and a pregnancy happens, if they don't buy an extra coverage rider, they can't get an abortion.

Hence..............the term "rape insurance".

Might wanna actually watch the news sometime Swimexpert.

And I repeat, calling it "rape insurance" is as dishonest as using the phrase "partial birth abortion."

This idea that the law forces women to buy insurance just in case they are raped is a complete fabrication. The law regulates insurance coverage of abortion procedures. Namely, it separates insurance coverage for abortions from the main policy. That's it.
 

Okay...........but the primary use of Viagra is for getting erections, not for heart disease.

Interestingly enough, the primary use of hormonal birth control pills is to prevent pregnancy, but it is also used to treat ovarian cysts and other conditions that women have.

Why should Viagra be allowed and birth control shouldn't?

Still..............if they don't have the abortion rider on their healthcare plan, and they are raped, they will not be able to have the result of the rape aborted.

Besides...................does any woman actually ever PLAN to have an abortion?

False. False, false, false.

The law does not stop a woman from having an abortion.

Furthermore, the vast majority of abortions are paid for out-of-pocket. Medicaid will not pay for an abortion. And even women whose insurance does pay for it almost always end up paying out of their pocket anyway, usually for reasons of privacy.

Probably about the same number of women who plan on getting raped, right? So why call it rape insurance? Oh, I know. Because "rape insurance" is a ridiculously incendiary terminology which is sure to distract people from the facts.

BTW, how many people plan on having their houses burn down? None? Then why do they buy arson insur--I mean, fire insurance? Kinda what insurance is all about, innit? Preparing for the unexpected.

The truth of the matter is that you're being played just as much as the bible thumpers. This law isn't actually going to change anything. The law makers who voted for this only did it to pander to idiots in their base. They haven't accomplished anything. They aren't stopping abortions, they aren't going to prevent people from having abortions, they aren't going to make it more difficult for people to get abortions. They're just tossing the bible thumpers a bone.

Meanwhile, liberals are melting down even though nothing will change. So damn gullible.
