Not satisfied with President Obama’s new religious accommodation, Republicans will move forward with legislation by Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) that permits any employer to deny birth control coverage in their health insurance plans, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said Sunday.
“If we end up having to try to overcome the President’s opposition by legislation, of course I’d be happy to support it, and intend to support it,” McConnell said. “We’ll be voting on that in the Senate and you can anticipate that that would happen as soon as possible.”
By all means, you clowns, make a big issue of allowing insurance companies to deny contraception to women based on their employer’s religious beliefs, whether the employer is a religious institution or a completely-secular one. Considering the gender gap between Obama and your party’s candidates (the President is more popular with women than with men), that’s sure to be a winning part of your platform.
Abe Lincoln wouldn’t have to take a flamethrower to these morons. They’re doing it to themselves.
