Hobby Lobby Still Covers Vasectomies And Viagra

[Lakhota]

Hobby Lobby -- now free to drop emergency "morning after" pills and intrauterine devices from its workers' health insurance plans -- has given no indication that it plans to stop helping its male employees obtain erectile dysfunction treatments.

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that the craft store chain, owned by evangelical Christians, doesn't have to pay for health care coverage of contraceptives prohibited by its owners' religion.

But pills and pumps that help a man stiffen his penis in preparation for sex are perfectly acceptable.

Evangelical Christians have long argued that life begins at conception, and therefore that medical procedures that disrupt the first stages of pregnancy amount to murder. In the case of Hobby Lobby, this extends to a woman taking pills such as Plan B, Next Choice or Ella, any of which would prevent her ovaries from releasing an egg that could be fertilized after unprotected sex.

Perhaps taking a note from Catholic Church's opposition to sterilization, Hobby Lobby also objected to long-term birth control methods such as IUDs, which can cost women up to $1,000.

But that does not explain why Hobby Lobby doesn't object to covering the cost of its male employees' vasectomies.

This seems like extreme hypocrisy to me.

More racist far left Obama drone propaganda!

What do you care if someone takes a little blue pill and shoots blanks?

 

[TheOldSchool]

And the pill.

Neither impact a zygote, and Viagra may encourage fertility. Religious beliefs may often spliit hairs, yes, but consistancy is not a Constitutional requirement, Hobby Lobby prevailed on the primary issue before the Court.

There is a difference between creating life and destroying life.

Hobby Lobby still covers birth control too.

Even Christians are okay with a boner. It's been said that on Adam and Eve's first date Adam said to Eve....."Better stand back, baby. I don't know how big this thing gets."

Why don't these Christian zealots have a problem with semen being imprisoned in a man's testicles after having a vasectomy? That's a lot of babies going to waste.

The progs are too busy pooping their pants to recognize this little factiod.

There's a difference between reason and insanity. The HL case has driven the left to insanity.

 

[DiamondDave]

I don't care if they cover hair plugs and not fertility treatments.. their choice

What about peyote and mad dog 20/20 ?

Because Christians drain the boys into a beer cup and baptize them before flushing them.

A zygote is formed when egg and sperm unite. Saying that semen by itself is human life is fallacious.

Same with a vasectomy. The penis getting hard is not the same as killing zygotes, either.

No offense, but these angry threads over Hobby Lobby sound so whiney.

They are people with choices just like you and I.

Don't be hating because someone is different than you.



I've always loved me a Lakhota thread!

A man gets a vasectomy and a woman can get her tubes tied, both covered by HL's healthcare.
That IS comparing apples to apples, Lakhota.
