Hobby Lobby Actually Lavishes Contraception Coverage on Its Employees

Hobby Lobby Actually Lavishes Contraception Coverage on Its Employees | National Review Online:

The lie>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>











THE TRUTH
Imagine that a woman starts work at Hobby Lobby tomorrow morning — July 1. She joins Hobby Lobby’s health care plan.
It includes access, copay-free, to the following categories of FDA-approved birth-control:

1. Male condoms
2. Female condoms
3. Diaphragms with spermicide
4. Sponges with spermicide
5. Cervical caps with spermicide
6. Spermicide alone
7. Birth-control pills with estrogen and progestin (“Combined Pill)
8. Birth-control pills with progestin alone (“The Mini Pill)
9. Birth control pills (extended/continuous use)
10. Contraceptive patches
11. Contraceptive rings
12. Progestin injections
13. Implantable rods
14. Vasectomies
15. Female sterilization surgeries
16. Female sterilization implants

(This new woman at Hobby Lobby cannot use male condoms or a vasectomy, at least not directly. However, if she chose either contraceptive method, in conjunction with her husband, she would have access to it.)

Further, not only would she have access to these medicines and devices, but Hobby Lobby would fund them. That’s right: while White House press secretary Josh Earnest claims that it “jeopardizes the health of women,” Hobby Lobby’s health plan pays for 16 different kinds of contraceptives for its female employees!

In the Left’s fantasy world, the militant Christians at Hobby Lobby police single female employees to assure that they have not engaged in sinful, pre-marital sex. As for married women, Hobby Lobby deprives them of birth control so that each can deliver a new baby every nine months, for God’s glory, just like in the Old Testament.

Liberals are living in a cartoon of their own making.

Again, Hobby Lobby’s health plan pays for birth-control pills, vaginal rings, contraceptive patches, and other items to help female employees plan their pregnancies. The Left’s arguments to the contrary are — surprise, surprise — lies.

What Hobby Lobby will not cover are four contraceptive methods that its owners fear are abortifacients:

1. Plan B (“The Morning After Pill”)
2. Ella (a similar type of “emergency contraception”)
3. Copper Intra-Uterine Device
4. IUD with progestin

'Nightmare nanny' agrees to leave California home by July 4, family says | Fox News:
A California nanny who refused to leave the home of the family she lives with has now agreed to move out by July 4, "as long as the weather is cool," the family told FoxNews.com Monday.
Diane Stretton, 64, was fired June 6 by Marcella and Ralph Bracamonte of Upland, Calif., after, "she just stopped working," the family said.
But Stretton, who was hired by the family through Craigslist in March, refused to leave the Bracamonte residence.
Stretton also threatened to sue the family, claiming wrongful termination and abuse of the elderly.
When the Bracamontes contacted police three weeks ago, they were told, "'Sorry, you're going to have to go through the eviction process,' " Marcella Bracamonte said.
A judge also ruled in the nanny's favor, saying the family did not end Stretton's employment in a legal manner.

Illegal Aliens in NYC Will Get Municipal IDs, Free Legal Representation | CNS News

Illegal Aliens in NYC Will Get Municipal IDs, Free Legal Representation | CNS News:
"The new ID program for all illegal aliens who live within New York's five boroughs -- an estimated 500,000 of them -- will allow them to open a bank account, sign a lease and get a library card. (And vote? some are asking.)
The card will include, at a minimum, the cardholder’s photo, name, date of birth, address, and an expiration date. "Applicants will be able to elect to include his or her self-designated gender," the City Council said.
It doesn't end there. New York City also plans to use taxpayer money to keep illegal alien families together. "

Las Vegas Is "Screwed"; The Water Situation "Is As Bad As You Can Imagine"

Las Vegas Is "Screwed"; The Water Situation "Is As Bad As You Can Imagine" | Zero Hedge:

"It's just going to be screwed. 
And relatively quickly," warns Tim Barnett, of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, telling The Telegraph, the situation in Las Vegas is "as bad as you can imagine".
After a devastating, 14-year drought drained the reservoir that supplies 90% of the city’s water, the apparently endless supply of water is an illusion as Las Vegas population has soared.
As Barnett ominously concludes, "unless it can find a way to get more water from somewhere, Las Vegas is out of business. 
Yet they’re still building, which is stupid."

As The Telegraph reports, as with many things in Sin City, the apparently endless supply of water is an illusion.

America’s most decadent destination has been engaged in a potentially catastrophic gamble with nature and now, 14 years into a devastating drought, it is on the verge of losing it all.

“The situation is as bad as you can imagine,” said Tim Barnett, a climate scientist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. “It’s just going to be screwed. And relatively quickly. Unless it can find a way to get more water from somewhere Las Vegas is out of business. Yet they’re still building, which is stupid.”

Things are not good...

Las Vegas gets just four inches of rain in a good year, and in the first four months of 2014 there was just 0.31 of an inch.

The Southern Nevada Water Authority, which has the task of keeping the city from running dry, has described the effects of the drought as “every bit as serious as a Hurricane Katrina or a Superstorm Sandy”.

...

However, Las Vegas still uses 219 gallons of water per person per day, one of the highest figures in the US. In San Francisco the figure is just 49 gallons.

Supreme Court Pares Back Obamacare’s Contraception Mandate | TheBlaze.com

Supreme Court Pares Back Obamacare’s Contraception Mandate | TheBlaze.com:
"The Court decided that Obamacare cannot be used to require for-profit, closely held companies to provide certain birth control drugs and devices — such as morning after pills — that could cause abortion.
The case was brought by Hobby Lobby, a Oklahoma-based retail chain owned by the Green family. The Greens said they are willing to cover 16 of the 20 birth control methods mandated by Obamacare to its employees, but not four others because the risk of abortion goes against their religious beliefs."

Majority Of Delinquent Detroit Water Customers In Culture Of: ‘You’re Not Making Me Pay,’ Says Deputy Director

Majority Of Delinquent Detroit Water Customers In Culture Of: ‘You’re Not Making Me Pay,’ Says Deputy Director « CBS Detroit:
DETROIT (WWJ) – Several people protested outside the Detroit Water And Sewerage Department building Thursday, saying customers are having service cut off at an alarming rate and the practice is inhumane.
Organizer David Bullock with the Change Agent Consortium says the water department is going after customers that may be as little as $150 delinquent and says the department ignores large corporations which are behind.
“People always want to attack the poor … why are we attacking poor people?” he asked.
But when asked which large companies are behind in their payments, Bullock would only say that WWJ should research the issue.
“I think you all should be standing with us,” Bullock told WWJ’s Marie Osborne.
“I think you all should be demanding the same level of accountability for firms and corporations in the city of Detroit – that they are levying on residential customers.”
The water department states that there are about 60,000 delinquent accounts in the city of Detroit – with the average arrearage about $560."

Obama's Involvement In The Children’s Scandal Is Worse Than You Probably Thought

Obama's Involvement In The Children’s Scandal Is Worse Than You Probably Thought:
"Our Dear Leader states that all of this is just coincidence.  It’s all just the result of children wanting a better life, and his administration had nothing to do with this situation.
Well, my friends, we all know he is a liar. I think as time goes by and the evidence comes out, as it always does, we will see that this is nothing less than an orchestrated effort by the President of the United States and his administration to flout the duly enacted immigration laws of this country for political purposes.  He wants the Hispanic vote in November and couldn’t get amnesty through Congress, so he decided to send out the word quietly that he would not turn these children away–and they could stay."
