OK then, what do you think of a corporation that has no problem paying for vasectomies and ED treatments of their MALE employees yet refuses to pay for contraceptives for their FEMALE employees? Since they claim that this behavior is based on their religious views, then it would appear that their position is that only the MAN in the family is allowed to make decisions when it comes to whether to have children or not. Thus reducing women to 2nd class status, which would seem to be in violation of equal treatment clause of the 14th Amendment.
BTW, the last case the Supreme Court ruled on a business applying religious principles in terms of how it treated it's employees was when they ruled against a company owner who refused to provide health insurance to his married female employees since he claimed that his religious beliefs required that married women must depend on their husbands for their support in all things. The wonder was why did he hire women at all, but the consensus was that perhaps he did so because he could pay them less than males, and besides, this also supported his belief that only men should be the breadwinners.
