Really #SCOTUS? WHAT YEAR IS IT??

I really have no words for the #SCOTUS ruling - so what you're telling me is that corporations get to be "people" with rights protected by the constitution, but women who want contraception (who are unfortunately having to work for one of these terrible companies) - a valid medical drug that also helps with general hormone issues and prevents certain CANCERS along with unwanted pregnancy - are more important that medical coverage regarding half of the population? WHAT CENTURY AM I LIVING IN WHERE THIS IS EVEN STILL A QUESTION???????

In the long run it's cheaper for them to provide contraceptives than for the woman to take an unwanted pregnancy to term where the government ends up putting a child through the system, or the mother/family has to use government services to make ends meet and is traumatic for all involved OR has to deliberate themselves as a person and whether or not to have the terrible experience of having an abortion.

I KNOW I KNOW! Next let's say that companies don't have to provide coverage for blood platelets or certain vaccines or drugs with pig or cow products in them because of their religious affiliations!

You're basically saying that these extremely religious people are more validated than other extreme religions. How about we keep religion out of it and make sure people are covered medically for their needs and requirements and let them make the choice whether they wish to use those products or not.

seriously. wow.

*::EDIT::*
Because apparently I'm a glutton for reading stupid things on the internet and I get sent these links for "What Liberals Don't Want You To Know About the Ruling" kind of articles:

YES. I'm upset about these further restraints on women's health issues. Is Viagra in question ever? Don't see anyone making a stink of that kind of craziness.

This has more to do with the fact that we are treating these profit making businesses like people and giving them a freedom of religion for their for-profit business based on their religion. 

It's just wrong. 

Like I pointed out: are we going to allow Jewish, Hindu, Jehovah Witnesses, Muslim or ANY OTHER RELIGION based companies the right to not pay for / cover blood platelets, vaccines and medicines that have cow or pig gelatin or properties in them? No companies should have an exercised religious standpoint when it comes to the health of their employees. Male or Female. It is the personal choice of the employee. The Plan B pill, IUDs and others are just as important for a woman to make a choice about for herself. It's the principle and their choice.
