Last year, Roy Blunt introduced an amendment to the Affordable Care Act which would allow employers to deny any preventive health services under the guise of religious freedom.
Mitt Romney unequivocally supports the Blunt Amendment.
Now, hold on to your hats, ladies and germs, and click through to read the ridiculously long list of all the healthcare services that Roy Blunt (and Mitt Romney) would allow your employer to deny you just because their tiny mental Jesus tells them to.

One thing I do like about this election season; they are just coming right out and saying what they want to do.
It’s so refreshing.

Well – I don’t care if it rains or freezes
Long as I got my mental Jeezuz
Ridin’ on the dashboard of my car
So I can slip and I can slide
Logic escapes my useless hide
With my mental Jeezuz I’ll go far…

Some of those health procedures impact men. Interesting, since I thought the Blunt Amendment was strictly anti-women.

Blood pressure screening? The thing they do every single time I go to the doctor regardless of what I’m there for? What the fuck does that have to do with Jesus?
Pen
@Patricia Kayden: This isn’t so much anti-women as it is insisting that we continue the idiocy of an employer-provided insurance system while allowing the greedy fucks to not actually cover anything. It’s about the bottom-line, not the ladies. Fucking them over is just a bonus for the fundies.

Kay posted this list months ago. It’s shocking.

Someone should post it here for us to read.

Of course if employees use their own wages to pay for the exact same things, that’s no problem at all for some reason.

Hey, if a few men have to suffer so women can be punished for having ladyparts, that’s just how the world works.

How long before some employer starts claiming that they shouldn’t have to pay for vaccinations?
