Oh So Godly Hobby Lobby Holy Hobbie Horse Decision Discussion

Why do employment heavy businesses tolerate this uneven burden on them? Why not push for universal health care system?

It gives them power over their employees. The fear of bankruptcy due to medical care and not having coverage forces people to tolerate working conditions they might not otherwise accept if not for healthcare issues.

Small businesses are probably more negatively affected by having to offer health care. You'd think they'd be picketing for UHC.

Or at least for a decoupling of employment and health insurance, such that people go buy their own insurance with their salary.

Its big businesses that controls our politicians though. If they wanted public healthcare it would have happened already.

Why are big business lobbies within the conservatives, who have a lot of employees, not pushing for tax paid universal health care? It is unreasonable for these employers to be expected to pay for the health care insurance of employees when the health issues have nothing to do with the employment. Other businesses who employ less people and individuals who pay into taxes but don't employ anybody are not paying any share of this. Why do employment heavy businesses tolerate this uneven burden on them? Why not push for universal health care system?

Because: Socialism!

At one time you could trap trained employees from moving out of the company because they or a family member had preexisting conditions. Now, I'm not sure why they want to be involved. Momentum?

Low wage people don't have health insurance anyway so you trap them by "be happy you have a job".

But didn't the Auto industry want it? Don't we always here about how it is so hard because other international companies aren't saddled with that liability directly?

If I hear "It's better than the alternative" (regarding to be extremely busy) one more time, I'll lose my mind. I feel like shouting out "False Dichotomy Fallacy!"

Ovulation does not equal fertilization, so they are just 'assuming' it acts like an abortion. What percentage of ovulation results in a viable (albeit non implanted) fertilization? My guess, too small to count this medicine as an abortion pill.

To clarify my intent in my reply to Rhea : we are all aware that ovulation does not equate fertilization. However, they polarized on the abortifacient property of Mifepristone and that is what they invoked as the justification to support their claim that it clashes with their religious beliefs.

As to your question, the answer might be :

A general sperm count as part of a fertility evaluation should include the total density or count (20 million per ml or above), and the motile density (8 million per ml or higher). The motile density is perhaps the most important part of the semen analysis, as it reports the total number of sperm thought capable of progressing from the site of sperm deposition to the site of fertilization.

Essentially, a normal sperm count and normal motile density means a high probability that one of those little guys will find its way to the ovum and fertilization will occur. Not that any of that is any justification for anyone to assume that fertilization automatically happens during the ovulation process.
