      You know what’s funny? I’m pretty sure Mary herself would be facepalming at these jackasses. After all, she got to choose whether to be pregnant. Her consenting to have God’s kid is, like, a central element in Catholicism.

      Also funny — birth control wouldn’t help with, cough, immaculate conception.

    I’m gonna chase my birth control pills with an Old Fashioned in my Notre Dame rocks glass to celebrate.

    No I didn’t go to ND, but you wouldn’t know that by the Notre Dame themed bar cart in my living room. Yes, there is a neon ND sign above it. No, I don’t know what is wrong with me.

    Of course Notre Dame lost. They were going up against HHS, not Navy.

    I genuinely believe Notre Dame, as an institution, doesn't care. Now, their more influential donors, on the other hand...

      I’m trying to figure out ways to smack some sense into those influential donors. Maybe I could convince the football team to go on strike until these doofuses see reason... #startsplotting

      Ehh I think it’s a little bit of both. After all, there are still parietals and off-campus cohabitation is still prohibited.

      Whenever I see the ridiculous amounts of money groups spend on these stupid lawsuits or the amount of money people will raise for groups that have no need for it-cough*pizza place*cough-the former teacher in me thinks about all the projects on DonorsChoose that are scrambling for funding. But no, we can waste thousands of dollars fighting the exception on a mandate that was made for us. Ugh.

    I am admitting up front that I only did a year of contract law and hated every minute of it.

    I’m definitely NO expert, but I believe that if the contract between Notre Dame and the insurance companies was a complete and final agreement which stated that the companies would not provide any contraception, then Notre Dame has a good argument for making the insurance companies adhere to the contract. A change in the law would usually not cancel the contract because the contract was signed based on the law as it stood at that time (unless this new law is different - again I’m not expert). However, based on the article it sounds like the contract may have had vague or ambiguous terms about what medical coverage would be provided, in which case the insurance companies could likely argue that they cannot be barred from providing contraceptive coverage and Notre Dame could go cry into their Jesus tissues.

      Hey, ND. Giving people the option to purchase birth control with their own health insurance isn’t like this:
