9th Circuit court upholds Washington state law forcing church to cover abortion care if they cover material care in health insurance

[Saltwater60]

Not good and I don’t agree with it. This will get challenged and should be an easy victory but the time and cost are prohibitive. I’d like to see this challenged so that this could be applied universally. I’d also like the Supreme Court to take it up and make it so we can opt out of taxes that go to items that violate our religious rights and freedoms.

Conversely, should these churches be allowed to come and give daily sermons to the 9th circus? How about if they charge them for this service? I thought we tried to separate church and state? Just another feel good statement with no real meaning.

No they should not be able to come give sermons to the 9th circuit court but the government isn’t allowed to force you to do something that is against your religion. The law that’s in dispute states if you provide health insurance coverage that covers giving birth you’re required to include abortion services. This violates their religious freedoms. Many more people have babies than kill them so this would also be an added cost since I’d assume adding abortion services is considered an elective procedure if you can pick and choose services.
You’re right there should be a separation of church and state however this to me would violate that as well.

Pregnancy is the physiological state in which a fetus develops inside a woman's uterus

has nothing to do with "health" .. they should just offer Pregnancy insurance then ..

but anyways the 9th Circus doesn't even know what a woman is and shouldn't be regulating businesses
