Obama and birth control issue

[Hathor The Mad]

So what do you think of Obama wanting to require Catholic medical charities to carry birth control? Just wondering your opinions?  

[PSM Guild Mule]

Just because they carry it doesn't mean that they have to require people to use it.
It should be the patents choice.
If the patent wants it they should be able to have access to it.

Most Catholics use birth control anyways so it shouldn't matter.

I think birth control is great for preventing people who are not ready to be parents and deciding to have intercourse from having children they won't take care of. Its sad because I see that happen a lot. I got married young and Im a parent but right now I myself am on birth control because its the best choice right now because my daughter has aspergers and needs full time attention. And my husband is the only one working right now so I want us to be more financially fit.

On one hand I think that everyone should be allowed to have the same opportunities to gain access to birth control. For two reasons. One being, Catholic Hospitals treat a variety of patients with different backgrounds and religions. The second reason is because it's the individuals choice to choose what is right or wrong for them and how it will effect them in this life and the one to come. Because it's different from person to person. To one person birth control is a good thing. To others it's bad. Everyone has the right to have their own opinion.

My ONLY objection to it, is the fact that the government is sticking its nose into almost everything these days... I mean someone has too, for this issue, I suppose. But lately they're getting involved in everything and I don't like it.

When the government has this much control it makes me worry what kind of rights they could take away.

war is peace
freedom is slavery
ignorance is strength

I question if some of these things has to do with Revelations sometimes. Its just small things i notice and other church members discuss it.

The government shouldn't be allowed to mandate that we purchase, provide,etc. Anything! Period.

As an American I don't believe the government has any right forcing any religious group to do anything, Only exception being the religious group is Denying our god given rights. Forcing them to provide birth control Does not effect the Life Liberty or the Pursuit of happiness Especially sense you can grab a bunch of free condoms in your colleges health office or plan parenthood center so on. Your entitled to live, Be free and Live life the way you want. If Pursuing happiness implies you want everyone else to hand you everything in a silver plate, well that affects our freedoms and our own pursuit of happiness.

As an orthodox catholic I know we all like to point out the hypocrisies of people claiming to be something. (Most catholics use birth control, ect, etc.) The word of God is the word of God, Not the Word of what society deems fit. If you belong to a religion that changes its core beliefs every time society changes you might want to re-think that.

My 2 cents >=3 (Can care less if you think birth control is right or wrong, Its not about that. Its about the government trying to control our freedoms, religion being one of them.)
