The Case against Using Religious Freedom to Block Birth Control Access

fuckyeahfeminists:

Employees are given health insurance as a benefit. Like their pay, it should be considered theirs. They earned it. And just like their pay, they should have the right to do whatever they choose with it. Would it similarly be justified for these religious organizations to dictate what an employee did with his or her pay? A survey of Catholics found that a slight majority support religiously affiliated organizations including birth control in their health insurance. One wonders if they were pointedly asked about whether a woman of a different faith working at a Catholic hospital, for example, had the same right to have her employer-based health insurance cover her birth control the way that women are covered at every other type of job, what they would say.

Health insurance is YOURS and no one else’s. It should not be up to other people to decide how YOU use it. Should employers tell you how to spend your money as well?
