I'm A Woman, And I've Gotten Over Myself. When Will You?

This is especially addressed to Supreme Court Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Bader Ginsburg. I'm ashamed of you all.

"Women will have the same constitutional rights to acquire and use contraception regardless of whether Hobby Lobby wins or loses. More than that, they’ll have the exact same rights as they had before the contraception mandate was a gleam in Sec. Sebelius’ eye. What women won’t have is the right to force other people to pay for their contraception, but that has never been a right recognized by the Supreme Court.

"In the Bizarro World of the newspapers, not paying for someone else’s contraception is the same thing as prohibiting them from purchasing and using them themselves. This is an obviously false equivalence, but one that leftists are bent on telling themselves. No matter how many times you point out that the business owners in these cases aren’t preventing their employees from purchasing and using contraception, a smug leftist will smile and say 'but women’s rights, you see,' as if these magic words excuse the lie."

Talk about dog whistles.

The simple truth is: those words DON'T excuse the lie.

Another lie that article exposes:

"The beliefs of Hobby Lobby’s owners are just the same as the beliefs of thousands of owners of non-profit corporations who Sec. Sebelius exempted from the mandate...Sec. Sebelius has already exempted 190 million people from the contraception mandate, either because they work for non-profit corporations or because their plans were “grandfathered” when Obamacare became effective.

"In short, when 190 million people are purposefully exempted from a law, there can be no argument that it is aimed at 'a compelling purpose.' Providing broad exemptions intended to go on in perpetuity demonstrates that the contraception mandate is the opposite of compelling."

And another:

"As with speech rights, individuals do not give up their religious rights when they incorporate, for whatever purpose. In the Hobby Lobby case, where the organization’s mission statement explicitly included a charge to operate in accord with the owners’ religious faith, there can be no question that the corporation was intended to further the 'quintessentially human activity' of religious behavior. It is astonishing that leftists cannot grasp the simple truth: corporations are made up of people."

This is not about taking away any women's rights. This is about taking away my, Hobby Lobby's and others' rights to religious freedom, which has been the law of the land since the birth of this nation, even the very reason for this nation's existence! Thus this right is a whole lot more fundamental than whether a woman can force her choice of employer to pay for her $9 a month contraception, aka "health care."

Here's a screenshot of that link, of the current list of birth control prescriptions available at WalMart for $9 a month, including two of the most used ones at the bottom of the list (HT to NewsBusters for the link and info):

In the words of a famous celebrity,

"...if you looked at their cable bill, their telephone, their cell phone bill… it may turn out that, it’s just they haven’t prioritized health care."

There isn't an able-bodied, thus able to be sexually active, teenager or woman in this nation who hasn't already "prioritized health care", aka "figured out how to afford $9 a month for contraception," all on her itty-bitty own.

Get over yourselves.
