July 1, 201412 yr You would know a lot more in that field than I. However I do recall the SBC instructing its Annuity Company, Guidestone, to devest any holdings in such companies that violated ethics and issues deemed by SBC meetings. To my knowledge Guidestone did that. Don't know if it's applicable to this'd not. Companies can do that with their own investments. These investments belong to the employees and are invested at their direction. Can't remember when it really became a risk for companies to try to limit the investment options for the employee 401K plans but I'm thinking it was in response to Enron and others in the early 2000's.
July 1, 201412 yr If you understood laws regarding EMPLOYEE retirement plans you would realize how wrong you are, the employer does not direct investments. Nice try at at an unfair shot though but that's what happens when you rely on Mother Jones for your investment knowledge. What difference do man's laws make when it comes to God's? Isn't that what Hobby Lobby is trying to establish? I'm trying to find out what about their stance isn't hypocritical, and more about God and less about money? I'm just not seeing it.

I'm trying to find out what about their stance isn't hypocritical, and more about God and less about money? I'm just not seeing it. Employers are prevented from making the investment decisions for employee 401k plans, and that is a good thing. Not hypocritical at all. Now if they wanted to eliminate their 401K plan, that would be about money as I can promise you they are spending a pretty penny on the plan, just as they are on the health insurance. Since these 401K plans help the employees as they age it seems to me entirely within the Christian doctrine.

July 1, 201412 yr Your thoughts on this article? Seven reasons birth control pills shouldn't require a prescription - Vox I didn't see any mention in that article of birth control's potential for drug interactions. Interactions like that are what pharmacists are there for, but making them over the counter would remove that layer of protection for the consumer. Birth control can have several side effects on its own, including very bad cardiovascular ones (effecting blood pressure and/or causing blood clots). Those things alone are enough for me to want to see some pharmacist oversight. Then add to that the fact that birth control has a fairly established record of interacting with drugs used to treat diabetes, asthma, depression, bipolar, anxiety, siezures, migraines, and even certain antibiotics. Another thing I might add....look at that map they use to support the statement that "Most other countries already offer birth control without prescriptions." Is it a coincidence that those countries in dark blue (representing those that DO require a script) are among the most developed countries and governments in the world, and that those countries, by and large, also have the most developed medical care systems in the world? Why do all of those countries with such advanced fields of medicine all seem to agree that the birth control pill requires a prescription? I mean, the doctors in Mexico, Chad, and Iran all seem to think it's fine to get it without one...
July 1, 201412 yr Did any of you just hear what I just heard on the radio? :lol2: How could we know if we heard what you heard unless you tell us?
July 1, 201412 yr :lol2: How could we know if we heard what you heard unless you tell us? Fair point, Lady on the radio, was a guest on some show, said that this decision is the same as the Dred Scott Decision.
July 1, 201412 yr Did see Hillary lying like a cheap rug with her comments . The left keeps wanting to say it blocks contraception , like ALL contraception. NO ... NO a 1000 NO's .. it blocks Plan B and 3 other forms out of 16 different types of BC . So HL will CONTINUE to provide BC to it's employee's as they have done in years past.
July 1, 201412 yr Hormonal birth control can have serious negative side effects up to and including death. So can aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen and just about every other OTC medication. Sent from my iPhone using Forum Runner
July 1, 201412 yr Fair point, Lady on the radio, was a guest on some show, said that this decision is the same as the Dred Scott Decision. I honestly have no idea how you can listen to that stuff.
