Trump Rolls Back Obama Contraceptive Mandate

birth controlThe Trump Administration has just eliminated the ObamaCare contraceptive mandate.

The Trump administration said Friday it will let a vast universe of employers duck Obamacare’s contraceptive mandate by claiming a religious or moral objection, a long-awaited move that will enthuse pro-life conservatives and enrage advocates who say women’s rights to birth control are being threatened.

Under the new regulation, employers who assert a good-faith objection to having their insurance plans pay for contraception will be exempt so long as they notify their employees of the change, the Health and Human Services Department said.

Democrats are freaking out, of course. How will “women” get birth control if their employer isn’t forced to provide it? I don’t know, with some of the money they earn from their jobs?

If they don’t like that they could find work for a business that forces others to backstop the cost of their sex life. And be sure to ask about that during the interview but remember that it’s only sexist if asking gets you the job. Then you can sue them for hiring you.
