For anyone who, like me, believes an employer should not be forced to pay for his or her employee’s abortifacient, see what you’re up against (i.e. not much):
But you already knew that.
I am, for the record, pro-choice in the literal sense — literally pro-choice — which means: I believe fully in the pregnant woman’s right to choose abortion or choose to give birth, as she and she alone decide — just as I fully in an employer’s right to choose to pay or not pay for his or her employee’s abortifacient, according to the employers conscience and convictions. Or to put that another way: employees do not work for an employer by right but by contractual agreement and therefore have absolutely no right over their employer’s conscience or personal beliefs or personal convictions. The employees in such a scenario are deprived of no legitimate rights of they own. They are free to quit at any time. They are free to pursue employment elsewhere.
There is no right to have your birth control paid for.
