I am LOVING this scandal because of how it's exposing how many on the right view women.

That's not how wages work.

Fine by me.

Which is precisely why the religious-exemption claim is so ridiculous. What's the practical difference, in terms of contribution to sin, between an employer's health plan covering contraception, and people paying for it out of their wages? In both cases, it's the employee choosing to use the money they're receiving from their employer for the purposes of paying for contraception.

A benefit is not money received from their employer, but rather a benefit of employment received from their employer. It's a subtle, but important difference - you're entitled to wages for your work, but not benefits.

I'm entitled to what's in my employment agreement.
And those benefits? Are there.
Anyone trying to tell me I'm not entitled to what I contracted for is going to get shot.
