Thanks for your thoughtful post. I especially appreciate the import of #5. SCOTUS seems as "locked in" as the US Congress. That's two out of three??

Contraception (along with sound public health policy) can be a silver bullet in eliminating the vast majority of abortions, and we are turning our noses up at it for really tenuous reasons.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting, Ben!

My only objection is #2 since Hobby Lobby still is covering 16 of the 20 required contraceptives, they only object to the ones they consider abortive. Obviously not on the same level as providing vasectomies and Viagra, but at least it's something. <br /><br />#4 is spot on. Even if there are companies who view both abortions and contraceptives as evil, contraceptives are the lesser of the two evils. Eradicating abortions takes priority in this sense and contraceptives are a way to do it. BenGartlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16849121695396728591noreply@blogger.com
