Maybe someone can set me straight as to how this would be handled about using birth control and confessing over and over and over.
Birth Control | Catholic Answers
Basically, I am saying that if so many Catholic women use birth control, why get upset if the law might say birth control measures are included in their health insurance? If it was forcing birth control on them and they did not want it, that is one thing but that is not the case. |
I dont believe the percentage of women who use control is in any way relevant (if you read the other posts on this thread you would learn where that number supposedly came from).
The point to me, whether you love or hate the Catholic church, is that the Federal Government is mandating that a church sponsored institution must make available something that violates basic tenants of that church, no matter the religion and no matter how well the members of such church comply.
I must tell you that many have warned that over the years the little tentacles of this health bill will envade every part of society, and as a reminder....the basic reason, according to authors was to cut costs and this bill does NOTHING...NOTHING..NOTHING to cut health care costs. This, in my opinion, is just one of the many things we are going to have to grapple with !
