To clarify in advance, didn't read the article cause I have no plans to subscribe.
And I do not have the time to read a very long paper on it, so I'll respond according to the info already provided.
So essentially from what I understand, the employees can still use all 20 kinds of birth control, it's just their employer only pays for 16 for them and the other 4 is covered by the government? If so, I don't see any harm. As much as I disagree with the companies religious reasoning, it isn't actually causing anyone harm in this case. So there's no real reason for me to argue against it...
If however I misunderstood this and those other 4 methods must be paid for by the employee... then there's an issue. I'm going to assume in this situation birth control is already an accepted kind of insurance/health care feature. Which means it is everyone's legal right, for an employer to say "If you _____ or _____ method you pay for it yourself" seems the same as them going "If you treat cancer with _______" you won't be covered.
I mean if you logically look at it, that employer pays their workers a wage. Once paid that money is not the employers but the employees, and a good amount of that money is going to be spent on things that they disagree with. But they don't get any right over that, so why should the method one chooses to use
their insurance be something the employer has control over?

Never said I was right. You explained it to me like I was five. I got it, it made sense, does not really violate anyone's rights... So okay, I'm good with it. Yes it means my stance on it changed. Just means I am capable of rational thought. :pThus, "amicable".Though if you want to mock someone who is ordinarily your ideological opposite for with you... Be my guest I suppose?
I know this was already resolved, but I do admit I did also find this odd.
Brovo chose to be open-minded and alter his position when proper evidence/arguments were shown... and he was criticized for it. o.O
Then again, like Frizan basically said people have this awful tendency to call people who don't agree with them close minded or "always needing to be right" (My sister says this to me whenever she tries to argue something but I'm not buying it... But seriously she should stop using PETA as her only source for things :P), but if you change your mind your unloyal, a floater etc.
Lose-lose situation... I really wish more people got the concept of skepticism/open-minded but requires a certain standard of evidence.
