The Department of Justice on Friday deemed South Carolina's new law requiring voters to present a state or federal photo ID "legally unenforceable," arguing that it could be discriminatory against minorities in violation of the Voting Rights Act. "Although the state has a legitimate interest in preventing voter fraud and safeguarding voter confidence ... the state's submission did not include any evidence or instance of either in-person voter impersonation or any other type of fraud that is not already addressed by the state's existing voter identification requirement," Assistant U.S. Attorney General Thomas Perez wrote in a letter to the office of the South Carolina attorney general.

first of all I thought we cleared up the meaning of "cannot get pregnant for medical reasons" as to mean they should not get pregnant for medical reasons.

keep beating that dead horse if it makes ya feel good...I guess.

My point is that there is no reason for the government to hamfistedly force employers to cover birth control for 100% of women when its only necessary for a very tiny fraction of women.

second...100% of women do not need birth control. But, if it is medically necessary (not for YOU to decide as you are obviously unqualified in that area) then it should be covered for free as a preventive measures have been shown to reduce health care costs OVERALL. And it should be a decision between the doctor and the patient. I also think more women would not want to have a child for mental(which is also medical) reasons and should be allowed to choose contraception over abortion.

And yes some Health Care Providers and obviously some employers have to be TOLD what the right thing to do is or like the Catholic Church they wouldn't do it.

The reason I am calling you short sided (besides getting your goat) is because while not all preventative care reduces health care costs overall it does reduce costs in the long run and it also does something else. It starts the trend toward a healthier nation by emphasizing preventive care and healthier living which increases our productivity and wealth as a nation overall.

And...If a woman knows it would not be a good thing for her to get pregnant right now (or ever) and she uses birth control and that allows her to finish college and get a career before she settles down and has children who knows how much of cost benefit that is to society.
