SCOTUS Ruling: a set back for Obama Care

[LukeinNE]

With the encouragement of my more liberal leaning friends, I jumped on Vox and found this contribution to our discussion

With all due respect to Vox, I think this article they linked to did a better job of explaining it. At least it did for me.

Sara Hellwege is a nurse in Tampa, FL who opposes the use of some of the most effective and female-controlled forms of contraception, such as the birth control pill. Despite that position, Hellwege applied for a job with the Tampa Family Health Centers. When asked by the human resources director about her affiliation with an anti-contraception group called the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, Hellwege admitted she would refuse to prescribe the birth control pill to anyone who wanted it. She was summarily told that prescribing the birth control pill was part of the job and was not hired.

 

 

Now, Hellwege is suing, with the backing of the Christian right organization Alliance Defending Freedom handling her case. Both ADF and Hellwege throw the word abortion around a lot, falsely conflating non-barrier methods of contraception with abortion. But the factual inaccuracy of Hellweges claims may not be an issue here, since the lawsuit argues that Hellwege is a victim of religious discrimination and deserves to be hired by a family planning clinic despite her religious beliefs and association with the pro-life group AAPLOG. Of course, the Supreme Court in Burwell v Hobby Lobby said that case covers all forms of contraception objected to in the name of religion, with no need for pseudoscience garble conflating ovulation suppression with abortion necessary, suggesting that the liberal use of the word abortion in this case is more about the continued right wing campaign to demonize contraception than anything else.
