You sound like you are deliberately trying to ignore my point, and just want to argue. Just in case you missed it, though: Paychecks are their money.

Now, I'll ask again. Are you going to place restrictions on what I (the business owner) buy with my money?

No, paychecks are compensation given by you to them in exchange for work performed.

Health care benefits are also part of that compensation. Why should you have any say in how your employee uses that compensation.

Your employees use of their health care plan is none of your damn business. Trying to use health care to regulate their behaviour based on your religious views is a particularly nasty form of oppression.

But trying to force me to buy something that is against my conscience isn't a nasty form of oppression? Trying to regulate my behavior based on your non-religious views is just fine?

Pot, meet kettle.
