Obama Tries To Force Catholic Institutions To Provide Contraceptives

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Is contraception really preventative medicine?

Morally speaking. How do you feel about the vaccines? What percentage of catholics use contraception?

A catholic hospital/institution should be able to run itself as it sees fit as long as it takes no monies from the gov't. What is being prevented isnt the issue wether its having to wear blue on tuesday or contraceptives.

It's no different than forcing a hypothetical car company who had a thousands year old ban on seat belts* to put seat belts in their cars. They have a strong stance on speeding being immoral? Fine, preach directly. But you can't make speeding more dangerous to discourage it.

There is no law requrieing cars to have seatbelts, just that you wear one on the road

"Most seat belt legislation in the United States is left to the states. However, the first seat belt law was a federal law which took effect on January 1, 1968 that required all vehicles (except buses) to be fitted with seat belts in all designated seating positions."

Pregnancy isn't a disease, and you cannot randomly catch it.

I have no problem with contraception. My problem is that the administration is claiming that this is a women’s health issue that trumps religious freedom. I could buy that for, say, an expensive breast cancer vaccine, but this isn’t equivalent. Why is free contraception for all a women’s rights issue?
