Your Employers Must Tell You If They Think You're a Babykilling Slut
LatestAfter the Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby decision went down, many women wondered if they would suddenly find themselves at the mercy of their boss’s heretofore unknown beliefs that women who take birth control are abortion-happy harlots. Unfortunately, the answer is still yes. Fortunately, thanks to new rules set forth by the White House today, your boss has to inform you if and when this is happening.
According to the Department of Labor’s website, closely held corporations affected by the Hobby Lobby ruling must inform employees within 60 days if they’re planning on opting out of covering any of the 20 methods of contraception originally covered by the Affordable Care Act. One hopes the notification will be slightly more tactful than a sticky note on your computer that reads “Ur a whore! :),” but, you know, these are weird times.
