Sigh. Another day, another borderline-nonsensical tirade from Amanda Marcotte. Seriously, this woman could have her own tab on the top of our site. That’s how much strange and twisted logic her Twitter feed cranks out.
Today, she’s hitting the ceiling over the idea that religious employers might object to paying for contraception. Somewhere in the recesses of her mind, she thinks that not being provided with free contraception will eventually lead us down the slippery slope to a world where fanatical employers can dictate how you spend your salary. That, and everyone who disagrees with her is a misogynist, but we knew that already.
We know you have a confused look on your face right now, but don’t worry. We look like that every time we read Amanda’s tweets.

Wow. Just … wow.
(Note that she never really did address the point that the U.S. tax code encourages employer-based health insurance.)
