And if the Catholic Church now drops health coverage for their workers, they will bleed talent. Those who are in demand enough will leave leading to a lower quality of care. Of course they already lose a lot of talent due to their archaic rules on birth control pills. Trust me, I know.

But protecting the rights of women workers is important too. I wish they didn't cover plan B so the line in the sand could have been clearer. It is absolutely wrong to not cover birth control. Completely and utterly wrong.

Birth control is not exactly expensive. Of all the aspects of compensation to be a stickler about, it would be quite funny indeed if that was one of them!

Haha, true. People bitch about it all the time though. I know that for a fact but I doubt someone is going to not accept a job because of it. Although if you have a choice....

And if the Catholic church decides to drop their health plan, they will lose talented people. That makes sense, doesn't it?
more sense than Obama's all-or-nothing insurance requirement.

It's not just  those who oppose birth control that are upset about this of course.

Imagine, once was a time respecting people's rights of conscience was considered the liberal position.

What about those on these health insurance plans who don't believe in the Catholic church's line on birth control and would like for it to be covered? Where is their right of conscience?
What I would like for you to do for me has nothing to do with following my conscience.

To me this is a simple problem to fix. If the catholic church does not want to pay for things like this or compromise their mission and the integrity of their institution STOP ACCEPTING FEDERAL FUNDS.

Indeed, and I should think that these purported fiscal conservatives would be lauding any decision that reduces federal expenditures.
As much as you might like Catholic hospitals to refuse Medicare and Medicaid, this decision has nothing to do with that.  The law isn't dependent on accepting federal funds.

I hope it becomes a political football. This is absolutely ridiculous. It's just birth control. Let them make this into a big deal, no ones going to care. And it can only backfire. At the same time you have racists speaking at CPAC and no one seems to be concerned about that. What a f'in joke.

Oh and plan B is not an abortifacient. It's not RU-486. These bunches of retards commenting on something they know nothing about is insane. The catholic church should stick to the bible.  They don't get to decide what is an abortifacient or what the mechanism of action of a drug is, medical professionals do.
