Near-Universal Contraception Coverage Approved
| Fri, 01-20-2012 - 2:14pm |
Seems like this would be a good thing. More contraception = less abortion, less people who can't afford - or don't want - babies actually having them.
"Today, in a huge victory for women’s health, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced that most employers will be required to cover contraception in their health plans, along with other preventive services, with no cost-sharing such as co-pays or deductibles. This means that after years of trying to get birth control covered to the same extent that health plans cover Viagra, our country will finally have nearly universal coverage of contraception."

I know some will make noise over this; every week I stand feet away from someone holding a 'the pill kills' sign. Yet pro-life and pro-choice folk should be able to rally around reducing unwanted pregnancy. Those that don't are extremist who won't find anything positive unless we implement draconian measures.
The sign says 'the pill kills' there is no other wordings, no caveats. They mean contraception kills, carte blanche. They stand there and shout at arrivals, and that is their right, but the comment that really launches me is 'they just want your money!'
Mkay, 97% of PP revenue is not abortion services related, only 3% is. Further, I'm a volunteer, so what am I doing there if 'we just want your money?'
"The life of each human being shall be preserved and protected from that human being's biological beginning when the Father's sperm fertilizes the Mother's ovum, and"
nor does it look like it matters if a woman's life is in danger, there are no exceptions. If the woman dies, oh well.
"Although a pregnant mother and/or her preborn child may die, there is no justification in the law of God or man for the intentional killing of even one innocent born or preborn human in existence at fertilization. NO EXCEPTION! NO COMPROMISE!"
