Poverty violence and other issues aside women everywhere are focused on being depressed after hearing the anti-woman" ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores Inc.and Wheaton College v. Sylvia Burwell last week. Hobby Lobby and Wheaton College became embroiled in litigation due to Obamacares requirement that for-profit employers provide abortifacients to employees despite their owners Christian beliefs. As we all know there is no issue or right more important to women everywhere than to force all employers to subsidize their use of abortifacients.
It doesnt matter that women can easily buy the abortifacient Plan B over the counter inexpensively for $50 without a prescription. It doesnt matter that Planned Parenthood provides abortifacients and birth control free to low-income women. Justice Ginsburg in her dissent to the Hobby Lobby case righteously declared It bears note in this regard that the cost of an IUD is nearly equivalent to a months full-time pay for workers earning the minimum wage.
Five Catholic and mostly white men on the Supreme Court just perpetuated sexism misogyny and chauvinism into the 21st century according to three dissenting and caring feminists on the court (never mind that one of them Justice Kagan is Catholic too). The War on Women has ratcheted up one notch. Women have never been so oppressed. Ginsburg stated in her dissent that the Hobby Lobby majority decision puts women into a minefield." Without employer-covered abortifacients they may as well be in live combat on the battlefield!
