This new ruling opens the door for insurance companies to deny paying for tests involving women's health.
This was the first thing I thought when I heard this story. How many procedures are done later in life, or less often now because of some report. Or the fact that some surgery that used to be in-patient is now done out-patient. What about childbirth. 24 hours in the hospital then you are discharged (if you are lucky to have your child after 12 midnight). No regard for issues that could come about after birth for the mom or child (talking from experience here).
The Fundmentalist Christians hate women's rights as much as the Muslims do.
I came to realize that when the Southern Baptist convention decided that women should not teach young men, and my Mom, who had been teaching to all ages for 15 years was suddenly told, by her church, no more. As always, their basis was the letters of Paul (1 Timothy 2:12).

These committees really need to be careful.

Don't know if this is part of the new Obamacare, or if the Republicans are up to shenanigans, but I sure want to find out!
