BBC: Trump Rolls Back Access to Birth Control through the ACA

[Dr. Arch]

"Donald Trump's government has issued a ruling that allows employers to opt out of providing free birth control to millions of Americans.

The rule allows employers and insurers to decline to provide birth control if doing so violates their "religious beliefs" or "moral convictions".

Fifty-five million women benefited from the Obama-era rule, which made companies provide free birth control."

When will they eliminate the fully medically unnecessary Viagra from insurance?

Never

[Dr. Arch]

Companies should not be mandated to provide birth control to their employees

BTW, the article is a good lesson in how words have no meaning anymore

Changing laws that Mandate bosses to provide BC to women does not mean that women are prevented from obtaining BC

If the government mandated that you must have a palm tree in your backyard, and then reversed that mandate, does that mean that you can't have a palm tree in your backyard?

It's about accessibility to medically required essentials, rather than whether or not they can have it. Stop with the false equivalences.

Did you know that birth control is used for more than just anti-contraceptive measures?

Words can always "have no meaning" depending on the context. However, in this case, you just chose to ignore the premise altogether.
