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. |
Again, you purposely miss the point. All this is REALLY about is getting a $20 prescription "for FREE".....by way of OPM...Other People's Money.
Not only would Planned Parenthood provide the pills to people who can't afford them, but also many county and city health departments provide all these services for little or no cost based on income etc.
