[quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingAtheist][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love birth control and use it all the time. However, I do not think that religious employers should be forced to pay for it, through insurance or not. And I take as genuine some people's belief that life begins at conception. That makes some forms of birth control a difficult call for them. It doesn't have to be about hatred toward women or the desire to control them. [/quote] Not every person working for a Catholic institution is Catholic. Should we penalize them for having different beliefs?[/quote] are they being FORCED to work for a religious group? you want to make orthodox jews serve non-kosher food? come on, that is silly.[/quote] This actually a good analogy. It's my understanding that, while an orthodox Jew cannot cook meat and dairy, serving non-kosher food is perfectly acceptable. Obviously in the case of Catholic employers, they're not even forced to "serve" contraception. And now with the Obama compromise, Catholic employers are not even required to pay for health plans that cover contraception, but rather the health insurers themselves cover it. So the whole tempest is essentially one group of very, very far-right wing, and extremely politically active group of Catholics (specifically the US Conference of Catholic Bishops), searching frantically for a wedge issue so they can cynically insert it into the upcoming presidential election.
