Finalized rules let religious groups opt out of contraception mandate
Washington (CNN) - The Obama administration finalized rules on Friday that allow religious-affiliated organizations opposing the use of contraception to opt out of a federal mandate requiring that they provide their employees with insurance coverage for birth control.
The mandates give women at nonprofit, religious-based organizations, like certain hospitals and universities, the ability to receive contraception through separate health policies at no charge.

These religious idiots better stay out of this. Ok. Church is nothing to do with these rules that we propagate. These rules are for the good of the people–be it Christians, Muslims, Jews, or Hindus.
And when employees or their dependents find themselves facing an unwanted pregancy, those religious organizations should be required to provide for the care and upkeep of those children and the women raising them until they all graduate with doctorate degrees. I mean, according to "governor ooops", it's all about ensuring those children realize their full potential.
Even when it is required to treat a medical need like regulating menstral cycles or hormone therapy?
I wonder how many folks are against this but have no issues with "select" unions and businesses that waivered out of the ACA aka Obamacare?
Ooooohhhh! That bag of lies right wingers have been spewing just fell flat on it's face.
Meanwhile, the GOP/Teatrolls in control of NC just voted to get rid of all unemployment benefits. Yes, you read that correctly. The NC economy will now go into a recession within the next couple of months and NC will join its sister state, SC, as an unmitigated disaster.
You can chalk it up to electoral politics too, because the real motive behind it is easy to understand. GOPers/Teatrolls equate unemployment and almost all other social assistance to "lazy, moocher, taker minorities." Obliterating the unemployment insurance program in the state, they hope, will force all them brown folks who vote for Dems to move to other states.
