‘An Attack on Women’s Health Care’: Sandra Fluke Slams Hobby Lobby Supporters

Sandra Fluke Crushes Conservative Who Equates Contraception to Alec Baldwin’s Anti-Gay Slurs (Mediaite)

The Supreme Court’s decision to hear cases which challenge the Affordable Care Act’s contraception mandate has already resulted in copious handwringing and predictable debate, but if attorney and reproductive freedom hero Sandra Fluke‘s debate with Washington Examiner‘s Tim Carney is any indication, this will be an easy fight. On Tuesday night’s All In, Fluke, along with host Chris Hayes, tossed the issue around with Carney, and in short order had him comparing contraceptive coverage with Alec Baldwin calling a photographer a “cocksucking faggot.”

The debate over the contraception mandate usually boils down to both sides making the same claim, that their religious liberty is being infringed, and retorting to each other “No, it’s not.” That’s how Carney began, arguing that “Barack Obama has his own sexual morality, I have my own, they follow the Catholic teaching. That’s great, this is a free country. I don’t think Barack Obama should get to impose his morality on me the second I go into business.”

Hayes pointed out that “The employer here is saying their freedom is being impinged because the Affordable Care Act requires them to pay for insurance that gives birth control without a co-pay,”
