On religious liberty

[curiousbuttaken]

why does not allowing an employer to impose their religious beliefs on their employees (like not covering contraception) count as an assault on religious Liberty. Or put another way, if an employer can refuse to pay for contraception because it violates their beliefs can a Kosher business owner refuse to pay you you if you spend your paycheck on a cheeseburger?

"Leaders of the Roman Catholic Church, prominent Republicans and other social conservatives have spent the past year making inflammatory allegations that an Obama administration rule requiring employer health plans to cover birth control without a co-pay tramples on religious freedom. " from the NYT

Why do the Religious values of the employer (no contraception) matter more than those of the employee (contraception ok)?

Speaking of kosher pickles, I don't understand why, in paradise, cheesburgers have kosher pickles on them.

There's not much you can do if your employer is the Pope.

I was in white trash America a couple years ago and wanted to check out Clintons museum but didn't get the chance. Maybe another time. Just don't go through there very often.

 

[Bert Notorius]

no, i pray toward bethlehem.

 

[cjh]

no, i pray toward bethlehem.

So, it's safe to say that you don't live in Nazareth.

White trash America is a wide swath.
