Those on the left are accusing the Catholic church of violating first amendment rights by refusing to comply with the health care mandate that requires them to provide coverage for birth control and the morning after pill in the health insurance policy the church organization provides.
I wonder if people on the other side of the issue can see that it is they who are imposing their religious views on the Catholic Church. They are the ones who are violating first amendment rights. The choice people have been forcing my Catholic cousin to financially support Planned Parenthood which aborts thousands of babies every year. Kathleen’s heart breaks when she thinks of those babies.
Now you may think she’s silly, that it’s not a baby; it’s just tissue, but can you see that you are forcing her to violate her moral conscience, her religious liberty by forcing her to support something she so adamantly opposes?
No one is proposing that we outlaw either contraception or the morning after pill. All we’re saying is that people who are morally opposed to the idea should not be expected to pay for something they abhor.
