Yes, here it is -- the right wing's idea of "freedom" is a society where a woman has to ask her boss' permission to use oral contraceptives. -- Could you point out where that's mentioned in the article, that a woman has to ask her employer for permission before using oral contraceptives?
What the article is talking about is legislation that would allow an employer in charge of a private business to determine whether or not oral contraceptives for reproductive purposes would be covered by their company insurance policy. If the company insurance policy doesn't cover oral contraception except for non-reproductive purposes, female employees can still obtain it even if they're low income (Title X) and can still use it.
Also (and I'm not sure if this has changed since Obamacare -- maybe someone can verify for me), but no one is ever forced to get health care through their employer. I'm sure if a woman is dissatisfied with the insurance plans offered by her employer, she can opt-out and purchase insurance or even just a prescription plan on her own.
