- I think the women of childbearing age will be out of a job if employers have to provide more for them. They may want to start hiring older women who are beyond childbearing age to avoid the mandate.

- No the republicans will make sure the issue never goes away. But I just don't get it... why are republicans into issues with women's bodies, I think it's best left to the gynecologists and OBGYNs, unless the republicans are just as perverted as the catholic church. Catholic priests and bishops don't want anything to do with an adult woman but seem to have an unusual preoocupation with female reproductive parts. See the thing is, these types of issues dealing with female reproduction really disturb both the catholics and the GOP for reasons that really have nothing to do with religion but have everything to do with a patriarchal society. It's about control. Control of women who are unfortunate enough to fall under the guise of the catholic church in the name of god and religion, and control by the GOP to keep voters in the name of god and religion. It worked a few years ago but I think most educated people can see through the smoke and mirrors... finally.

- By the way, why don't we take away the tax exempt status of these hospitals and colleges? The money flows from the hospitals to the church so how do they figure the church is paying for birth control?

- Obama's attack on religious groups and religious freedom will be remembered when 70 million Catholics plus other religious groups vote in November. And the idea that you can trust this so called wonderful compromise is such a joke, as most folks understand Obama will go back on his word just like he did on campaign financing of his super pack, extending the Bush tax cuts, and cloing Gitmo and it goes on and on with his broken promises.

- Go ahead and push this nonissue, Senator. Certainly, you'll fire up the reactionary religionists, but you'll also incentivize millions of women, tired of the GOP using the female body as a political football, to come out to the polls and work to put the GOP troglodytes back into their caves.

- Traditional family values according to sanctimonious, Bible-beating, chest-thumping conservative pundits and politicians: unplanned pregnancies by unwed teenaged girls.
Of course, the irony is that many women take birth control pills as a means to regulate hormonal imbalances, not for preventing pregnancy per se. Should an employer who is a Jehovah's Witness be allowed to deny health coverage for blood transfusions and organ transplants? - Reply to this comment
- Why is it that SO many of those against contraception are men? The Catholic church is dominated by old men who seem to think it's their duty to control women. Mitch is an old goat who doesn't care about "religious liberty", he only wants to line his OWN pockets with more taxpayer money.
