By now you have probably heard a bunch of garbage from the
right and religious groups AND Mitt about how the Obama administration is
attacking religion, the Catholic church, etc. etc. etc. because Health and
Human Services says if you take federal dollars, unless you are in the religion
business, you must include access to contraception as part of your health
insurance offering. It’s all very
sensible and ISN’t an attack on anyone’s religion, particularly Catholics.
Facts are most Catholic women use contraception and most
Catholics, like most Americans regardless of religion or non-religion SUPPORT
requiring employers to provide their employees with the OPTION of choosing
health care plans that cover contraception or birth control at NO COST. Here are the results of a February 2012
survey. Most Americans SUPPORT such
coverage. Catholics actually SUPPORT
such coverage in GREATER NUMBERS than most Americans and those unaffiliated
with any religion. The only group
opposed are WHITE EVANGELICALS, the same nuts that want to ban teaching
evolution, keep gays from marrying, require all kids to recite the Lords Prayer
in public schools even if their parents aren’t Christian, etc. etc.
This isn’t about an attack on religion. It’s an orchestrated ATTACK on Obama. It’s politics, nothing else.
Period.
