'The Amish do not carry health insurance. The government respects their principles. Christian Scientists want to heal by prayer alone, and the new health-care reform law respects that. Quakers and others object to killing even in wartime, and the government respects that principle for conscientious objectors. By its decision, the Obama administration has failed to show the same respect for the consciences of Catholics and others who object to treating pregnancy as a disease.' Archbishop Dolan

All I hear is another white, cisgendered, christian, privileged, male, whining about babies, and telling me what to do with my uterus. We don't make you donate sperm or organs, don't force us to be mothers when we don't want to. How difficult it is for you men to comprehend the fact, that us women are very capable of decisions regarding our health. We certainly don't need virginal/celibate old men, telling us what to do because they clearly believe that woman are incapable of rational thought.

The body of your fetus does not belong to you an more than your babie's body would belong to you. As far as you "being forced" to take Bible and religious studies courses, you were not forced to go to that university were you? If you did not want to take Bible/religious studies courses, then you should not have gone to that university. As far as some of the OT laws, they are applicable to the ancient theocracy of Israel. After Christ, we live under a new covenant.

How does abortion not have the effect I think it does?

[Tint301]

Contraception and birth control aren't evil, and abortion does not have the effects Lifers think it does.

[kristaaaah]

abortion all tha motha fucking way.

[kristaaaah]

Also, birth control = less abortions...so, isn't this something you would want? Besides, seeing as you are a man, you have no idea why some women TAKE birth control. Not everyone I know takes it for sexual intercourse/preventing (NOT ABORTING) pregnancy. They do it to regulate periods, get rid of acne, and stop the pain of cramping which can be so awful you pass out. BUT seeing as you are a MAN you would have no experience with this. Funny isn't it, you never experience but want to refuse rights

[kristaaaah]

Oh nothing like a white, privileged man trying to refuse women their right to health regarding their own bodies. Oh my oh my. You know, I go to a Christian faith based university, and as a non christian I was forced to read the Bible/take religious studies courses. You know, there are a HELL of a lot of rules in Exodus that I'm sure you d not follow 100%, otherwise you'd be living like a monk. Oh religion is nothing but a well of hypocrisy.

I don't understand father, why are your employees asking for contraception when they don't believe in it ?
