If our laws are providing people with health insurance through their employment, I think it would be discriminatory against women to deny them such coverage.
Why is discriminating against religious people in order to stop discrimination against women okay?
If a corporation were headed by Christian Scientists and they felt it was against their religion to provide any health insurace to anyone, I don't think we would be moved by that.
Why not? I certainly am.
If they want to act in the marketplace, they need to abide by the standards of the marketplace.
This isn't a marketplace standard, however. It's a government mandate.
