truthlvr Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Christa - can you explain why you think contraception is a health issue? Is it unhealthy to be pregnant? And if you want contraception to be free, then you have a choice ... planned parenthood provides free condoms. Why would we want Catholics to fund something that goes against core beliefs? And as far a men not understanding women's reproductive rights, how does that take precedent over the actual life they are fighting for? No one is taking anyone's freedom to choose, just our right not to fund it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RezaMikhaeil Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Well actually weather catholic hospitals fund it under an insurance policy is the small fish. The larger fish is the economic problems that it carries for all insurance providers. Here is Peter Schiff giving a good explaination of it: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U73xKgbXh68"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U73xKgbXh68[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Church doesn't disallow hormone treatments, hysterectomies, or treatments for 'what ails women inside their rather cmplex reproductive systems." It's about insurance coverage for CONTRACEPTIVES. Period (and not excluding treatment for aforesaid). 1- Contraceptive costs are not that expensive and there are a number of agencies and organizations that provide such at reduced cost or free. 2- Nothing is excluding a women from seeing the Dr and getting prescribed various treatments under the insurance plans that exclude contraceptives. 3- This issue is a political ploy about Big Government gathering and implementing power over the citizen class (you and I). It's misinformation and hysteria (pun intended) that have people claiming the Church or Government are all up in the woman's business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] If you understood the slightest thing about the nature of modern health "insurance", you would realize that elimination of the system altogether would be a good thing for healthcare costs. Apart from that, not supporting coercive government programs in the name of employer provided health insurance (a benefit that reduces a worker's paycheck) is not remotely sinful.
