We, not government, should decide what happens to our bodies and what medications we should take! That is between the doctor and the patient and has no reason to be the right of any employer. Will the employment application now ask "Do you use contraceptives in order for the employer to be assured he/she is hiring the employee who has similar religious beliefs? Will the employer hire someone who has different beliefs? If so, will you subject that person to discrimination? Is this not discrimination based on religion? What happened to the Civil Rights Act? Are legislators forgetting or they just do not care about women's right to choose what happens to their own bodies. You are violating the rights of women and the law against religious discrimination.
