Next up, repeal of homicide laws


The state of Missouri has had a law since 2001 that requires birth control prescriptions to be covered under health insurance policies that include pharmaceutical benefits.  But that was before the Obama Administration mandated that everyone needed to do exactly that (with an exception for certain religious institutions).

So Missouri passed a new law allowing EMPLOYERS to make these decisions for their EMPLOYEES.  The Governor vetoed the law, and the Missouri legislature just overrode the veto.
The Missouri Legislature has voted to overturn Gov. Jay Nixon’s veto of legislation that allows religious and moral exemptions to covering contraception in health insurance policies.
The override attempt – the only one the lawmakers pursued in their annual veto session today –squeaked by the House in a 109-45 vote this afternoon.
Because (1) the rights of the employer to control his employee's life is more important than the actual rights of the employee, and (2) President Obama was for it, so now they're agin' it.

What war on women?
