[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] And I take as genuine some people's belief that life begins at conception. [/quote]

I don't, because almost all of them treat a miscarriage quite differently than they treat the birth of a child. When these people start holding funerals and writing obituaries for their 5-weeks-gestation miscarried "babies" (and they most certainly will soon!), same as they would for the tragedy of a 4-year-old who dies of leukemia, then I'll believe that they really think life begins at the moment of conception. In the meantime, it's abundantly clear that their chief unstated motive is to exert control over women's bodies and choices.[/quote]

I had a burial for my 8 week gestation miscarriage, and mourned that child terribly.  I honestly and truly believe that life begins at conception.

I haven't the slightest interest in controlling your choices that don't impact others....and ending the life of a child impacts that child.  I am personally actually very pro-birth control...I think it prevents abortions, and is just a wonderful advance in people having control over their own reproductive lives, and I've used birth control myself.  But I know that there are people who are opposed to it, and[b] don't think they should be forced to pay for birth control when it violates their beliefs.  [/quote][/b]

Shoiuld someone's religious belief trump the need for others to get help for a possible medical condition? If your religion tells you should have as many kids as your are blessed with, great, and if birth control was used ONLY to prevent pregnancy then I understand, but don't agree. However, I take the pill for a condition. If I had to pay full price for it, it would be a strain and I may have to skip a couple of months. That will impact my health and worsen my symptoms and condition.

[b]So is it ok for me or other's to suffer because it goes agaisnt someone's religious beliefs?[/b]

So don't work for an institution that takes those beliefs seriously. Work for someone else. [/quote]

And you call yourself a child of God? You are a good Christian who loves and cares for all? But really you don't care if women suffer because they can't afford a medication they need? [/quote]
