I see what you're saying Henry. And to an extent, I agree. But - if those employers are making that decision in the face of scientific evidence that shows quite clearly that there is no difference in function between the contraceptives they will allow and those they won't (prevention of fertilisation, versus prevention of ovulation) then they are effectively penalising those women who, because of their particular medical history need one kind rather than the other (some contraceptives are suitable for some women but not others) - and they are doing so on the grounds of something that is untrue.
