Yep, this only applies to women, and only to contraception. Ruth Bader Ginsburg's dissent calls this gender discrimination.

They narrowed the decision to ONLY the contraception question, to avoid all those pesky worries and questions about not covering blood transfusions, vaccines, etc.
When a campus cop tells a woman hes going to slam her on the car if she doesnt obey him, and the college thinks thats perfectly ok, there is seriously something very wrong with that college.
Introducing New Pope. Classic Pope flavor in a more aesthetically pleasing bottle.
It's not particularly weird, but if you add in the fact that Amy Adams comes from a military family - her dad was a serviceman, she was born onto a military base in Italy, and she spent most of her childhood on bases - then I think it becomes a little sweeter. It really seemed like a very genuinely motivated move on…
Fuck the Army and how it handles these issues. - US Army veteran
"In real life, if you say stuff you regret in anger, you cool down, apologize & move on.If you're a celeb on social media - it becomes a blog"
Celebrity...he keeps using that word, but I do not think it means what he thinks it means.
Not a fan of military adventures, but it really is relevant in this case that he's in the military, which is basically one of two ways you can be separated from your family and have no control over when you return—the other, of course, being imprisonment. If you get posted overseas for an office job and find out…
Selling stollen goods is illegal regardless of whether it's stolen from a soldier or a heroin addict; the occupation of the victim has no legal bearing (and I would argue little moral bearing either). If the family refuses to return the dog I don't think they will have any legal legs to stand on. The owner did not…
Uhh, actually it kind of is, not for any jingoistic reason, but because he's doing an already stressful, dangerous job, and distraction could mean his or a coworker's life. I would feel the same way about this if he was on a bomb squad or was an astronaut or any dangerous profession. If he were an accountant or a…
It does in that he didn't leave his dog behind willingly. If he had moved away and asked his gf to watch his dog for a few years you know there would be a pack of comments suggesting that the dog is better off with a family that sticks around than some flighty dude.
I think it does. First, the girlfriend didn't have permission to sell the dog and he was unable to stop her. Second, he's abroad in a dangerous country at our government's request. I have never agreed with the U.S. being in the Middle East, but I support our troops in little ways when I can. This is a big way to…
Yes it is a good reason. He's in a fucking WAR.
He is risking his life while serving the country. It's out job as a society to protect his interests.
It would be wrong even without that but the fact that he is a) far away and thus physically unable to be present to fight for his companion personally and b) doing a service for his nation (regardless of the morality of the actions his country is ordering him to do) make it especially bad.
I think it does. He left his dog in his girlfriend's care while he went to serve overseas. However you feel about the troops, he's doing something for our country and I refuse to feel ashamed for being mildly patriotic. Even if we cut the patriotism, him being overseas still has something to do with it. He left his…
You know what would be even worse for Wyoming's economy? Raising a bunch of science-illiterate students.
I have heard Ex Mormon women say that the churches attitude toward them made them feel like "walking pornography" so this surprises me not at all.
