The Arbourist is ripping up wingnut balderdash. Just a bit of his response:

“Contraception is no different from any other medicine. It improves the quality of life and saves lives. But if contraception were to go on the chopping block then here are 10 other therapies that employers could say falls foul of their religion and deny coverage:

1) Blood transfusions (Jehovah’s WItness)

2) Organ transplants (Jehovah’s Witness)

3) Antidepressants (Scientology)

4) Addiction medicine (Scientology)

5) In vitro fertilization (Catholicism)

6) Antibiotics (Christian Scientist)

7) Screening for sexually transmitted diseases (Catholicism, no one is ever having sex outside of marriage so STD screening is not needed)

8) Tissue and skin grafts that leave the body to be prepared for implant/use (Jehovah’s Witness)

9) Treatment of alcohol intoxication and alcohol abuse (Islam, Mormon and all the other religions that forbid alcohol consumption)

10) Treatment of trichinellosis (a parasitic brain worm) from pork consumption (Judaism)”
