This is, in fact, a misleading tactic. It is just as exactly misleading as you and the other Catholics claiming that there is an effort to mandate birth control by the adminstration.
That is what this propaganda from the administration is saying, that you want the employer to make the decisions for the employees. I work for my medical insurance, and I am not a slave, my employer does not own me, and it is none of their business to worry about the moral implications of any medical care paid for by my health care insurance.
As far as it getting dirty, I hope they fight even dirtier than this if that is what it takes to put down this effort by the Catholic church to dictate public policy to free American citizens. If we let them chip away here and there in the wall of separation of church and state, it won't be long until we are all paying tribute to the Vatican, and the Pope is the dictator of America regardless of who the POTUS might be. Obviously if Santorum were to somehow get elected that would happen next January.
Actually, I think any boss who is going to ban birth control from the employee's health insurance policy, SHOULD have to sit down with her and explain his thoughts. Funny most conservative Catholics don't welcome this chance to catechize.
Well Kurt, where I work, we are in the business of manufacturing paper. We are not in the business of worrying about whether anyone is Catholic or whatever their religion might be, and we are not in the business of worrying about who uses birth control or who does not use birth control, we are trying to earn our livings through the manufacture of paper. Then all of a sudden, out of some far right wing political/religious fanaticism, the Catholics come up with this idea that employers are responsible for the morality of their employees in the use of birth control.

ReplyDeleteNo one is saying that Amdinistration is mandating people use Birth Control oon the Catholic side.
ReplyDeleteWe are saying that the Governement is mandating people that have moral objections to have to provide it .
