correction: "You are assuming that all other diseases will not cause premiums to rise: including breast cancer in which the "PILL" creates . Yes, I know this ~ as someone who loves someone fell victim of it. There is a warning label attached to some birth control pills: this MAY cause breast cancer."
It may be cheaper insurance because now we have decreased the amount of pregnancies? I didn't know you had a crystal ball. You are assuming that all other diseases: including breast cancer in which the "PILL" creates. Yes, I know this ~ as someone who loves someone fell victim of it. There is a warning label attached to some birth control pills: this MAY cause breast cancer.
Still, here is the point: If you pay $1.00 or $500 towards premium and if any of that money goes towards abortion or presciptions in which you oppose, you still pay. Plain and simple.
Nope ~ not protestant. I am Roman Catholic. I know my faith. I know the church's doctrine....studied it for many years. I know that many here are openly denying the TRUTH of the church's doctrine, while at the same time, you are forgiving yourself for denying that truth. We are responsible, as disciples of the church to always speak the truth. This is not a judgment. This is the Catholic faith. I am not speaking to protestant Christians or those not of the Catholic faith.
Oh, and if you don't understand the definition of heresy in my previous post, let me say it in another way:
1) adherence to a religious opinion contrary to church dogma 2) denial of a revealed truth by a baptized member of the Roman Catholic Church 3) an opinion or doctrine contrary to church dogma
Mr. Devito, you are free to examine your own conscience.
Dear, Mr. Devito ~ One word comes to mind here: Heresy (from Greek, which originally meant "choice") is an accusation levied against members of another group which has beliefs which conflict with those of the accusers.
Sir, you may not agree with your Catholic leaders, you may even take birth control against the teaching of your faith, and you are free to call the bishops names, as would a child in middle school, because we live in a beautiful country that allows you that kind of freedom.
Where I see you are wrong is in your poorly formed logic. You are okay with the government denying your church their constitutional right....their freedom...to practice their faith in the manner in which they have for centuries.
The only hypocrite I see here is you, Mr. DeVito. While you want to enjoy your freedom, and you boast of the freedom of all those people who demand that others pay for their healthcare, you are perfectly okay to deny your bishops and all Catholics who happen to disagree with you their rights. Here is a shocker: There are many who support your bishops, many of which happen to NOT be Catholic because they know their government has crossed the delicate line.
Nobody is denying any American ACCESS to their pills. You could walk to your nearest free clinic or Planned Parenthood and find plenty there. What you have a problem with is that you want everyone to have it free. Oh, but it's not!...some poor schmo will have to foot the bill. Let's just add that to our list, shall we?: we've been asked to bail out banks, deadbeat home owners, free pills, free healthcare for all, free ___________(just fill in the blank). Enough alaready. I'm tired of having to pay for everyone's free stuff.
Let's get this straight. Goods and commodities aren't "rights" afforded to anybody. That includes birth control pills.
What is a "right" in our country? Go back to school, crack open a dusty book, along with your dusty brain and read the 1st amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Bishops are Americans too. They have a right to 1) Speak freely to the people are charged with leading 2) petition their government with their grievances 3) practice their religion without government intrusion, PROHIBITING them to do so (that includes forcing them to pay for a good or service in which bishops feel violates their conscience)
Oh, and this "accommodation" that Obama announced recently: He must think we are all stupid. Nothing is free. If the insurance company pays, and not the private organization, then that only means they pass the cost through PREMIUMS. I smell lawsuit....multiple lawsuits.
VOTE YES ON ISSUE 2 ~ Help our state get into fiscal health! We need a reasonable balance between union worker's rights and the citizen's ability to support growing costs.
Honestman ~ I get that some businesses aren't fair to their workers. But, please don't paint all businesses into one category, as if you knew about every private company.
I, too, worked for a private corporation and was paid a HEFTY gain sharing (like a profit sharing) at the end of every year, as long as the company was making a profit. Thousands of dollars...no small change. No, I'm not college degreed.
I chose a career as a public employee, but I don't think this bill is over reaching.
Bishop’s letter just stated the facts
