I was wondering where the "Arbiter of All Things Christian" was hanging out these days.

Guess its at least partially, those forced added benefits - wanted/needed or not, you know like b/c for those who are celibate.

So because they dont have insurance that covers condums, or kill babies, its not "decent" to you?

yes, insurance only provides condoms and birth control (they do not pay for abortion; a poor attempt on your part).

That's all insurance does.

forget that insurance covers preventative care as well, like breast examinations for both men and women, cancer screenings, cholesterol and diabetes testing, yearly physicals, pap smears for women. Testicular cancer screenings for me.

Actually you are wrong, some insurance policies DO pay for abortions. GOVERNMENT insurance doesnt pay for them, but private policies can.

Q. Does insurance cover the cost of an abortion?
A. Almost two-thirds of insurance companies cover elective abortion to some degree. Contact your insurance company to find out if you are covered.

Horrible logic. One can work, go to school and also protest. One doesn't preclude the other. I take it you didn't do much of the school part.

In fact, those people running the Christian college didn't do to tell in the logic either. They didn't show any causation between the rising healthcare costs and the healthcare reforms. That would get a failing grade in a real college.

The article also failed to mention that the healthcare reform that was passed by designed by the Republicans in the 90's.

Perhaps, you were out protesting too much, but it appears you slept through some of your classes. You might want to consider some remedial English Grammar classes.

I'd like to know exactly why things would be doubling in cost too. This isn't simply a matter of coverging BC and for all I know their old policy already did. The lack of detail here makes me think someone is blowing smoke and just wanted an excuse to use the term "obamacare" in a negative way dozens of times in one article. I can't imagine what political party the auther belongs to..hmm.

So the other parochial colleges and universities opting out is a lie as well.

Get a clue.
