If you have not heard the SC just ruled that some companies may be required to provide only 16 of 20 kinds of birth control in their employee health care. Obama care cannot be required to provide the other 4 on the grounds that they are too close to happening after conception and therefore contrary to some peoples religious beliefs. This means that if you want one of the other 4 kinds then you would have to get it from charitable group or pay for it your self. I think that this is a close call and a hard case. However, as usual, the rhetoric goes way beyond the reality.
I also heard Rachel Maddow describe this in a way very similar to the following.
"The Supreme Court basically ruled that bosses can tell women what they can and cannot do with their bodies. They can control our reproductive health care. This has nothing to do with religious freedom."

The hostess did not caution her that she was over the top. Someone needs to.
It is time that we start to call this kind distortion what it is.
What she said is not true.
SHE IS LYING.
