Aids Treatment? Circumcision? Moral Objections?

An employer could object to these based on their moral objections. An employer believe gays are immoral and can refuse to pay for Aids treatment? Yes, I know not just gays get Aids, but under that Blunt/Rubio bill ANY employer could refuse to cover treatments for anyone.

Then there is circumcision. We saw this in SF a while ago. With this one whose morals, religion, or medical treatment, trumps WHOSE?

Don't EMPLOYEES have their right of relligious beliefs, and MEDICAL TREATMENTS, too? Just from a legal basis what makes this law so bad, it is that it is TOO BROAD.

Employers can play DOCTOR. Oh, just imagine the LAWSUITS on this.
