@Nullo I agree with @jca that makes no sense. I mean this is a big moral thing for the catholic church, they see it as killing a life supposedly. If insurance covered killing a 2 year old, would the Catholic curch help fund it? Is there any amount of money or good deeds that would balance the church going along with that? If the church is going to equate abortion and birth control to murder, equal to a murder of any human life, then it would not matter what part of the world the insurance requirements are.
My opinion is the Catholic church generally is not very upset about birth control. They allow natural family panning, which is preventing pregnancy. There is no real logic in allowing a couple to abstain on fertile days, but not allowing using a condom or BC pills, it is to the same end.
The Catholic church values science, education, logic, medical science. It is not like 500 years ago. Sure Catholics don’t want their church being told what to do by the government, but I would bet most crazy bat shit legislation introduced is not the Catholics. Just a guess, my own stereotyping and generalizing. That law they are trying to pass that a woman has to tell her employer why she needs birth control pills? That is absolutely stupid. I hate the word stupid, but here it fits. What happened to medical right to privacy? Let alone women’s rights in general. Sometimes the right wing is its own worst enemy. The Republicans should blast the guy who came up with that, and then they would be given some credit for having a brain. The person who thought that was a good idea should be strung up by the party, and anyone who votes yes. There are some Republicans saying it is ridiculous as I mentioned above.
