These Are MY Reproductive Organs, Not Yours

The public is generally in favor of requiring birth control coverage for employees of religiously affiliated employers.
Would they be as much in favor for coverage for vasectomies?

If any woman ever doubts that it’s still very much a man’s world then do the following: Suggest that the government require vasectomy coverage for employees of religiously affiliated employers and watch how quickly men will grab their crotches and run.

Please note: I am highly in favor of women having more access to birth control. However, how is it that in order to keep the government out of my religion I now have to keep them out of my reproductive system? WHEN did the two coincide?

Many believe abortion to be wrong and believe birth control to be a type of abortion. So, for the government to demand those who hold this religious value to cover the cost of birth control it looks like this:

Birth control = abortion

Covering cost of birth control = covering cost of abortion

Why would the government think it's okay to ask this of religious sects?

Let's be clear:

• Women are in no way inferior to men.
• If women don’t want babies, they should not have to have babies. 
• If women want birth control, they should be able to get birth control.
• If women want to get pregnant, then they have the freedom to do so.
• If women, for some religious reason, find it immoral to take birth control then the government should respect her religious rights and the rights of her religious employer as well. 

Some may be thinking: "But, you would be the one to benefit from this, dummy."

Would I absolutely love having the cost of my birth control covered each month by my religiously affiliated company? Yes, but everything comes with a price and the price for that particular luxury would mean allowing the government to violate my right as an American.

You can't have your cake and eat it, too.

I'd rather keep the church and state separate, even if that means paying for my own d*** birth control.
