Indeed. The only reason I usually reply to these threads is to prevent the lurkers and newbies from thinking this is a prevailing Catholic point of view. I’ve long since abandoned hopes of actually changing CMatt’s mind.
It’s been explained to you several times. There are several ways to help the poor. Abortion and contraception are always wrong.
So you’re okay with institutions closing because they are being forced to do things that they find morally questionable?
Well sure it might be a sad choice but as I’ve stated I believe closing might have sadder consequences. I support the imperfect “Obamacare” to what we’ve had to this point.
The caring for the sick part Christ emphaszed. Depends on the poll. At the time I even saw polls of majorities wanting a public option to be included. Many were in favor of such aspects as the sick with pre existing conditions not being denied coverage and children being able to remain on their parents’ coverage longer.
But I bet if you did a poll, most people would want a choice in what gets covered and what doesn’t.
No actually as I’ve said I’d find it sad if they closed. And no you shouldn’t assume about me.
Maybe but then many people polled believe women should have the right to their own lives too.
I get what you’re saying, but there is a reason for the wording. First, it is a protection of conscience issue. We will never get a law saying that people can, in general, refuse to be told what it evil because then people can just say, “The government is evil! I won’t pay taxes!” and be exempt. But with religious freedom, it’s different because this stuff was obviously in our teaching long before the mandate.
You’re posts are very contradictory though.
Could it be because many in the pews don’t agree and they risk losing financial support if they get too involved in Republican politics?I wouldn’t hold your breath…Cardinal George in Chicago has been slow to react as well…somehow I don’t get that. This is a crucial piece of legislation that if enacted fully will step on our religious freedom as it never has in this country. And some of them are dragging their feet? Why?
And this is a issue how? Doing the right thing is more important than financial support… Can’t take them riches to hevean.
So you believe that the “right” of the woman should legally undermine and diminish the natural and God-given right to be born. What a travesty of justice!
The answer is simple… Don’t have sex if you can’t handle the consequences. People want the milk but don’t want the cow.
Umm no actually I wouldn’t be ok with killing Jews. And before someone asks, even though it’s actually something mentioned in the Bible, I’m also not ok with bringng back slavery either. Nor for that matter before anyone asks am I ok with legalized pedophila which has also been asked of me.
Don’t worry. Most libs think that people’s sufferings (even those that are self made) trump the right to life.
They do. Nothing stops them from doing so and, if abortion were outlawed again, they would still have the right to their own lives. The question is, do they have the right to end the life of others? Its interesting that we have a law, Unborn Victims of Violence Act, with which you can be charged for a double homicide if you murder a pregnant woman, yet abortion is still legal. Is it a child, or not?
It’s only a child when it benefits their cause.
