Have one child or 7 children, does not make one a better or less of a President.

We have someone with only 2 children, And he can't seem to lead this Country, with only 2 children. How many children a couple plan to have, is of no one's business, not mine or any of you!

And with only 2 children, Obama, cannot seem to lead this gosh dang Country, and head it in the direction where it should be. Fool yourself about the economy, go head, keep on telling yourselves, this is great, and we are doing much better. Better, if so, housing and unemployment and the businessess that are closing, would not be happening.

Strict Catholics i know are not happy with this new contraceptive issue.

There is not only a war on women, the Government is waging a war, on us the people!

What rights did women have when the Constitution was ratified? Women were generally denied basic rights; they could not vote, own property, keep their own earnings, or even custody of their children. Did the founding fathers forget women when they drafted the Constitution? When did women get their rights in the United States? What was the source of those rights? Is there not even now a proposal for an amendment to the Constitution to guarantee equal rights under the law regardless of sex?

Yes! Abolish BC! Promote rape & treachery! Maintain defense of marital slavery and manipulative domestic abuse! Underground abortion clinics are so much better! Empty suit Republican males & misogynistic Catholic dogma are the inspiration for the other half of the species to become lesbians en masse. I'm just sayin...

Gentlemen, if you were female, wouldn't you carry a gelding knife if ever they came near you? Abortion, and anti-BC anti-abortion loud mouths, solved!

That would be a list of grievances you'd have against social conservative women preying on males. Is there some reason THEY are not accountable for themselves?
Why YES! I remember why! THEY voted against ERA to derive benefit from the law but not be beholden to it themselves!

Men have no say in anything. It is the woman that chooses the man. It is the woman that chooses to conceive. It is the woman that chooses otherwise.

Church hospitals aren't businesses? Coulda fooled me:

John Sackett | Avista Adventist Hospital | Louisville

JOHN SACKETT, CEO of Avista Adventist Hospital

Centura Health names CEO for St. Anthony Hospital - Denver Business Journal

this company announced Thursday it has hired a veteran director of a Chicago-area faith-based hospital to serve as CEO for the newly relocated St. Anthony Hospital.

Exempla CEO Leadership
Bob Ladenburger is President and Chief Executive Officer of Exempla Healthcare, a not-for-profit health care system in Denver. Exempla Healthcare is comprised of Exempla Good Samaritan Medical Center, Exempla Lutheran Medical Center, Exempla Saint Joseph Hospital, and Exempla Physician Network.

Just a few examples from my area. What, pray tell (no pun intended) would a non-business need a CEO for?

Nice summary. Puts things in perspective.

None at all would be best.

Agreed, but politicians had to pay someone back in their quid pro quo.

Yes, because, as you can see if you're looking for a new doctor in a new town, Medicare is awesome. In the past three days I've had 5 people ask me where I go to for my doctor because physicians are no longer accepting new Medicare patients.

That's not true at all. It cost more because government started subsidizing it and started a one-size-fits-all policy.

Sure it is. And the people who wanted their state to control their healthcare could move to those states. Likewise with those who think the federal government is inept and can't even pass a budget.

The latter at this point and time is absolutely correct.

Ahhh but they are! Can't have it both ways. Religion? Corporation? Or are they an alternative Catholic government entity? The gated closed community plan is available in free society for them to opt into at any time. Hire Catholics, treat only Catholics, no dogs or gays allowed to satisfy stringent ideology. Within that fence there will be no room for boundary arguments and the script for BC will not be filled because practicing Catholics committed to the Catechism would not, of their own volition, fill that script. So your argument is utter BS. Go to your room!

Ownership of free society by religion is a no no. Unless they want the bill in full born on themselves. We could do that too. Full scale accountability would tax the Church for the social ills THEY CREATED. Has a nice ring of justice to it!
