But that's not quite true. Take wage. The employer decides on a wage to intict the employee to accept the position, but, the employer can't decide to pay less than the law allows. He may want to pay only 25 cents per hour, but the law would not allow him to even if someone would accept it. The law mandates minimum wage.
The attempt to paint employers as greedy, stingy, thieves of labor here is just plain silly Joe. Many jobs pay a great deal more than mandated minimum wage in order to entice qualified people to take jobs, however that doesn't mean that later at some point in that career whether through hard times at the company, or lack of performance on the part of the person hired, that the wage can not be adjusted down as long as it doesn't go below minimum wage.
Now, no law makes them hire someone, just as no law makes them offer insurance. But once done, they have to meet the law.
And please cite the law as it stands today that requires an employer to offer any insurance plan with demanded coverage that the employee wants....
The insurance isn't the employers after the hiring any more than the salary is.
Sure it is. The salary is tied to employment, and a job done for the employer. You are not paid in advance of the job. And once hired, you no more own the job, than the employer owns you. Either, or both are free to sever the relationship.
It belongs to the employee (who in a lot of cases contributes to the cost).
No Joe, it doesn't. Period. An employer can at any time, as it stands now, cut insurance benefits for any reason they decide is beneficial to their business.
For the employer to restrict too much is to push a belif on the employee.
No, you are just plain wrong. The employer, in this case the Catholic Church is not telling employees that they must live by the Catholic doctrine, they are free to purchase on their own contraceptives, abortions, or any other product, or activity that is outside the doctrine, however, you can't force them to pay for it.
If the issue is cost, you might have more room. But if it is moral objection, well, you don't have the right to decide the employee's morals.
No one is doing that. The Church is not restricting behavior here. Simply saying that they will not pay for it. It's called religious freedom.
Just as you can't dictate what they spend their cash on, you can't dictate what they use their insurance for based on moral objections.
You don't have to offer a product to someone just because they want it, if you don't agree with that product. So while use is not the issue, they could just simply fire those pushing for this. Would that make you happy?
No clergy will be forced to use contraceptions. They are free not to based on their religious beliefs.
Who said they would be? Ending with a strawman is not a winning strategy Joe.
j-mac
, or to keep their "pecker in their pants", isn't going to prevent pregnancy or reduce abortion.
