Why?

The case was originally brought by a group of individuals and a Texas business, Braidwood Management, who sued over the mandates because the company had moral objections to covering PrEP and screenings for sexually transmitted diseases and other treatments that they believe promote “homosexual behavior.”

The people who voted for Trump had "moral" objections? Let's be clear, these are religious objections. Say hello to our Theocracy.

The Texas plaintiffs say requiring workplace insurers to provide PrEP violates their religious beliefs.

This is a repost in a way. See the Reed O'Connor thread. It is absolutely insane though

Republican men hate that anybody else might be having enjoyable sex that satisfies their partners.

So the GOP can murder the gays and the IV drug users in one fell swoop. Plus all the women whose husbands are on the down low. HIV's not much of a worry for men who like to fuck women or kids since it's a pretty tough virus to transmit to the pitcher as it dies immediately outside of blood or semen IIRC.

Well, it's been established that religious people get to pick and choose which laws they follow.
