"Religious Freedom" -- This is NOT "Religious Freedom!"
They are pushing the "Religious Freedom" slogan hard this morning on the talk shows.
What about a WOMAN'S religious freedom? Why do they think men should have the "Religious Freedom" to override the religious freedom of a woman??
YOU don't like birth control? Don't use it. There. Your "religious freedoms" are preserved.
This is about health insurance, not churches dispensing pills or having condom machines!! It is none of their business what choices women make for their own health, and there is NO "religious freedom" that gives them a right to dictate it.
It's so infuriating to hear this "religious freedom" nonsense over and over again. WOMEN HAVE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM TOO. All citizens do. There is no "religious freedom" to erase someone else's religious freedom!!

This is not about whether women can use BC or not. This is about who pays for it. If your employer doesn't give you free booze is that prohibition?

2. They whine "religious freedom" every time
they are prevented from ramming THEIR religion down someone ELSE'S throat. If they can't do that, they screech "you're taking away our religious freedom!".
You're right. It's not religious freedom. It's bullying, abuse, control and oppression.
The media gets their marching orders from their corprat bosses. They say what they're TOLD. And that's all.
Once again they aren't trying to legislate that women can't buy BC, they simply do not want to have to give them the BC.

Something tells me this has less to do with BC and more to do with a instinctive visceral reaction a DUmbass has when something "free" is denied.

I found this quote from Frederick Bastiat on a blog I often visit that he made 150 years ago. Just proves that the more things change the more things stay the same.
Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction between government and society. As a result of this, every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all.
We disapprove of state education. Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object to a state religion. Then the socialists say that we want no religion at all. We object to a state-enforced equality. Then they say that we are against equality. And so on, and so on. It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the state to raise grain.

The day my freedoms are defined not by the Constitution, but by the left...that is the day I will have chains instead of freedom, and every link will have a liberal lie stamped upon it.
-
Every liberal should be required to end every statement, every speech, every utterance with, "Free at last, free at last, evrything we could need or want must be free at last."
Sparkly says, "You don't like birth control? Don't use it. There.Your "religious freedoms" women's right to choose are preserved. Now go forth and fornicate but buy your own damn BC.

I am no more obligated to pay for someone else's recreational sex any more than I'm obligated to pay for their recreational eating, cable TV, vacation, etc.

To beat the libs on this issue, we have to keep it a first amendment issue, which it is. Religious liberty. Then pummel the lib/dems over the head with it as they try to twist the issue into taxes and contraception, and health care.
