Santorum is a lunatic, Part 10,568

Issues like this just prove that you right-winger fucks don't actually care about unemployment or people struggling to pay the bills or anything like that. Rather than save literally tens of millions of American women thousands of dollars on what can be prohibitively expensive medicine, you decide it's more important that employers be allowed to tell women what they can and cannot do with their own bodies based on the employer's religious beliefs!

Upwards of 90% of sexually-active, fertile women who do not want to become pregnant are practicing contraception. If Republicans keep pushing the views of a couple of right-wing bishops and conservatives stuck in the 1950s, they are going to get destroyed in November. You can't just demonize and attack every single group in this country that is not white Christian men and expect to win elections.

See, I thought anybody could buy condoms at the local 7/11. Dirt cheap, too. No prescription. And even more effective than the pill.

Keep thinking you are re-igniting the "culture war" with this. This is no such thing. This is about you trying to shove more and more Big Government down everybody's throat. Enough is enough. The government does not have the right to tell religious institutions what to do. I know this offends your communist sensibilities, but deal with it.

Also, it's funny that Politico is whining about "big government" when his lover-boy Romney isn't exactly a small government conservative Republican.

Small government is a load of crap anyways, in most incarnations.  The small government most Republitards talk about is "small" only in the sense that it's small enough to fit into your uterus, or small enough to fit in your bedroom.

Romney and Paul are clearly the small government choices. There's a reason why Paul has not lambasted Romney, unlike the rest of his opponents.

Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft

Good lord.  Politico is like the 2012 forum's own BRTD.

I retract the communist sensibilities comment, and apologize if it offended anybody. But, to me, agreeing that the government should force a religious institution to render a service that is incompatible with their religious beliefs strikes me as pretty damn communist. It's like something straight out of the Soviet Union. I would not expect this in America.

That's not what communism is.

Thinking the government can force a religious institution to render a service that is incompatible with their religious beliefs is certainly not compatible with the Constitution. It is perfectly compatible with communism, though.

Lolno

Sure, communism is anti-clerical, but in communism there's no government.  You're thinking of authoritarian socialism.

Yes, it does. The abortion rate now is 10x what it was in the 60s. Contraception is more common now than before.

If contraception was actually preventing abortion - we would expect to see the opposite. Like I said - contraceptives fail. When they fail, people are more likely to have an abortion. People are also more likely to engage in risky behaviour when they think there are fewer consequences. Abortion is the safety net of contraception.

I think there are plenty of other reasons why the abortion rate has went up in the past fifty years.

And anyways, who the fock cares?  I don't.

Where is the Catholic outrage over taxpayer funded executions?

To theocrats, "religious liberty" = religious law

The freedom to ban legal activities on Sunday

The freedom to accept government funds and discriminate

The freedom to arbitrarily defund programs (sex education, birth control) and organizations (Planned Parenthood) they don't agree with

The freedom to refuse to dispense birth control/contraceptives as a pharmacist because it "violates their conscience"

The freedom to cut off your infant son's foreskin

The freedom to ban gays and lesbians from serving in the military, adopting, and getting married

The freedom to force women to give birth

The "freedom" to live under God's law

Repugnant authoritarians

BTW, breastfeeding also causes changes in the uterine lining. It makes perfect sense of course, but some masses of cells (which is a life, supposedly) might get excreted without a chance to implant. I suppose we should ban breastfeeding too....it's not like a baby necessarily needs to be breastfed to survive.

Plus, it's gross.
