Those currently invoking "women's health" in an attempt to shout down anyone who disagrees with forcing religious institutions or individuals to violate deeply held beliefs are more than a little mistaken, and more than a little dishonest. Even setting aside their simplistic equation of "costless" birth control with "equality," note that they have never responded to the large body of scholarly research indicating that many forms of contraception have serious side effects, or that some forms act at some times to destroy embryos, or that government contraceptive programs inevitably change the sex, dating and marriage markets in ways that lead to more empty sex, more non-marital births and more abortions. It is women who suffer disproportionately when these things happen.
No one speaks for all women on these issues. Those who purport to do so are simply attempting to deflect attention from the serious religious liberty issues currently at stake. Each of us, Catholic or not, is proud to stand with the Catholic Church and its rich, life-affirming teachings on sex, marriage and family life. We call on President Obama and our Representatives in Congress to allow religious institutions and individuals to continue to witness to their faiths in all their fullness.
Sandra Fluke and the workers who were fired by Romney gave AMAZING speeches.
This Democratic Convention is really getting me pumped up.
Oh, my! Sandra was wearing a sleeveless dress just like Michelle! Where are all the fashion critics tonight to tear her apart for that like they did the First Lady? Sandra did a wonderful job.
That voice vote taken 3 times made you think there was going to be punchline.
The poor guy was hoping the yeas would win out, as that is what was predetermined, as the dems would prefer all elections to be.
Actually sounded as if the Nays won.
A replay of the nuclear option used to pass obamacare.
