Wednesday, forced employers to pay for contraception

Thursday, petitioned congress to allow DC to use americans taxpayer money for abortions

Wednesday - many states require health plans to cover certain conditions.  Maryland, for instance, requires employers over a certain size to cover fertility treatments.  So, the "forced coverage" isn't the issue - it's that you don't agree contraception.  In other words, "I don't believe in it so it shouldn't be available to anyone."

Thursday - Many states provide assistance to women to pay for abortions.  Those states all receive significant federal funding.  This is not an uncommon occurrance.  But since those states have their own federal representatives woy can fight back, there's no movement to strip federal funding for them, or otherwise influence their decisions.  But DC, with no representation, is defenseless, so have at it.  It's simply bullying.

More importantly, the double standard is mind boggling.  Tuesday, your theme is, "The federal government has no business interfering in our lives!  Stay out!"  Wednesday, the theme is, "The federal government should interfere to its heart's content in the lives of DC residents."  Which is fine, I guess, as long as you don't thereafter get on your high horse about unwanted government intrusion.  [/quote]
