I don’t have a link but the 98% statistic refers to any Catholic female who has ever in their life-time used contraception. So adult Converts who do not currently use ABCs would still be factored into this statistic if they used it before conversion.
Teddy Kennedy is also responsible for the HMOs in the 1980s that helped drive health care costs much higher.

You were right, and the stat is obviously flawed because it fails to account for the religious dimensions of a moral objection that is intrinsically religious. It’s junk statistics. I need EVERY faithful Catholic to make the media aware that the stat is fatally flawed. Spread the word.
Good thoughts. I looked up some of the comments you made and remember some of the over seas countries that are using some form of contraceptives, which I had just read up on contraceptive injections, there is a good website to read up on this: fhi360.org//NR/rdonlyres/e54ksdzjj2y5cvvptp2hvgh4cphj2lb5wydj5epy34ifu5s36owi3qknr4cew6rkjraf7hxwimo37g/KampalaReportIBP.pdf
Another problem as discussed on Relevant Radio is that some Archdioceses are self insured, ie. they apparently insure their employees themselves. The result is as an insurance provider they are required by law to provide contraception services (and I would assume by next year or the next, abortion services), The Archdiocese of Chicago, for instance, will be required by law to provide these services that the Arch diocese of Chicago, as a Catholic structure, finds morally reprehensible.
My guess is that this is what it will come to if we don’t fight it, yes. All kinds of very strange things can happen if the government gets to decree what we believe and what we have to put in our bodies.
I have read the same thing, many times over, in the course of the last week.
No, I’m pretty sure they’re not taking things like that into consideration. This 98% figure is an old statistic from Planned Parenthood. And guess who’s in cahoots with Obama on this issue?
The strangest thing has already happened - why would the government even approach this with the church? Even though the stats maybe 98%, and what 2% don’t use contraceptive, how could the government be able to give this a percentage (in general, the U.S (?)) from the Catholics? Targeting, a specific age group between 30-44 years of age? Where these percentages factoring in what type of insurance coverage they already had, their wages, and professional verses non professional status before they even approached this, as well as, who their employers were? I worked for a professional research company that focused specifically on hospitals, working conditions, and whether these employees were satisfied with their wages and working conditions. The questions, and not being able to give an opinion while conducting the interview - are pretty specific, yet - most of the questions could lean toward how the group, whoever paid for this service, wants them asked. Doesn’t that make sense? You can be bias, even on the approach.
Absolutely.
Yes. I agree with this. The thing is, this HHS mandate was never necessary! The nation is awash in contraception! There is no shortage of it, and no need for mandated coverage by those whose religion and whose conscience it offends. It seems rather like a forced test to ensure that everyone bow at the altar of the state religion of secularism, rather like Caesar requiring Christians to offer incense at his altar as a test of loyalty.
