MSW Replies to Becket | National Catholic Reporter

MSW Replies to Becket | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB:  Becket, like some parts of the USCCB - the Office of Pro-Life Activities chief among them - is carrying the water for the Republican Party.  It is no accident that having thrown in with employers in business who have a disdain for the rights of their workers that they should show equal disdain for the privacy rights of their employees to make their own decisions on contraception (that is what privacy means in this case, not confidentiality).  I throw in with the workers - and so does the government - which has required insurance companies to provide this coverage since 2000.  The only change by Obamacare is to let this issue open up for exceptions (irregardless of Supreme Court juris prudence written by Scalia of all people) that unless the employees are ministry, religious employees have the same rights as other employees.  The libertarian in me says that the availability of insurance that covers contraception will be driven by the supply and demand needs of staffing the workplace - and that teachers and nurses will flee those who do not provide such care - altough in truth the law will make sure that it is provided - as it has been for 13 years no.
