The Texas lawsuit shows the GOP is willing to usher in a lot of suffering just to prevent Americans from getting busy. - ReidOut Blog
To be frank: The plaintiffs in the lawsuit, filed back in 2020, are offering the dumbest argument imaginable for refusing these medications., filed on behalf of several conservative Texas residents, the plaintiffs claim employers shouldn’t be forced to provide an HIV prophylactic medication known as PrEP because they say it incentivizes “homosexual behavior, prostitution, sexual promiscuity, and intravenous drug use.
“It also compels religious employers and religious individuals who purchase health insurance to subsidize these behaviors as a condition of purchasing health insurance,” the lawsuit alleges. And that ridiculous argument could win out, because it’s being heard by a district judge appointed by then-President George W.
And there's no evidence access to contraception, which is also on the chopping block in this lawsuit, encourages any of the behaviors the plaintiffs in this case described., which essentially uses restrictions on contraceptives as a way to stigmatize pre-marital sex and other activities conservatives claim to dislike.
But as I said Monday, denying people access to contraceptives or other things that facilitate safe sex doesn’t stop sex completely. It just creates obstacles to safe and enjoyable sex. The lawsuit out of Texas shows the GOP is willing to usher in a lot of suffering just to prevent Americans from getting busy as they please.
