You have the right -- but not with someone else's money!

 

The Obamacare advocates who claim the opposition is waging a war on women because they find it offensive for an employer to be forced to provide contraception for his employees despite his religious convictions are completely missing the point.

 

Dory Alford of Highland Village says, "If you don't want to use birth control because you think your religion objects to it, then don't -- it is your choice . . . Now respect my choice to take advantage of a drug that will improve the quality of my life."

 

No employer is "disrespecting" Dory's choice or demanding that she not use contraception in order to keep her job. But Dory is dictating to the employer by insisting he pay for something she can very well buy on her own. Dory has elevated her right to use contraceptives to the right to demand someone else pay for them. And that is the point!
