White House: Court ruling risks women's health

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says women's health will be jeopardized by a Supreme Court's decision that allows corporations with religious objections to opt out of a requirement that they cover contraceptives.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Monday that women should make personal health decisions for themselves.

Earnest said the White House is looking into how many women could be affected by the decision. He said Congress should take action to assist women affected by the decision.

The contraceptive coverage requirement is contained in Obama's new health care law.

The court's 5-4 decision means the Obama administration must find alternative ways of providing free contraception to women who are covered under objecting companies' health insurance plans.

Forcing one person to subsidize another's abortion does not interfere with anyone's personal health decisions except for the person being forced.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Free? Women don't have to make co-pays for contraception under any of the 0bamacare plans? What about abortions - are they "free" too? Aren't these things even counted for the deductible?

Only if Obuttocks' government doesn't step up and give them free contraceptives, as the Court invited them to do.
