Catholic leaders to flock - we won't let you sin! :viewpoint

The government, well at least Obama and the dems have decided people can not make their own decisions or the right to make wrong decisions(hmm almost like the right to sin?)

bob,

Since when do employees have the right to make their own decisions on their own health-care insurance? It is the companies that make the decisions for you. Plus, just because your insurance covers a certain item, it does not mean you have to use it. So if you don't want to "sin", then don't sin because the government isn't making your use it. I don't agree with invitro and Viagra but my insurance covers it and I don't use it. It is not my right to take that choice away from others. I didn't agree with the Iraq War but I still had to pay for it with my tax dollars, but that is just how things work.

Have a good day.

Blah, Blah, Blah. Bob.

You cry Obama and the Dem's have decided people can not make their own decisions. A religious group, Catholics, are telling women they are forbidden to use birth control if they choose.

Catholicism is a religion. This pious group of men who proclaim they are the only group allowed to worship God and dictate how and what mere mortals will believe or think. They are pedophiles.

M personal rights are being diminished because of religious persecution from the Catholic Church. This paranoid group of MEN, teach it is a SIN for women to use tampons. How freaking sick is that!!!!!

These hypocrits portray themselves as godly because they proclaim a life of chastity. They are so riddled with pent up sexual desire, just like mere mortals, that they rape little boys. They are born into this world no different than any other person. It is time to end the hypocrisy of this scam religion. I am thankful that I have the right to converse with God without some middle man.

The whole thing is morally disgusting. Absolutely no MAN on this Earth has the right to pass judgement on another. A murderer is forgiven with 2 Hail Mary's and 3 Lord's Prayer. A person will be allowed to have a 15 year marriage annulled, so they aren't committing a sin against God, by sending a $10,000 check to Rome. Sit in a box and confess your sins to a guy who may have spent the time before confession raping a little kid.

The Catholic Church wants to know where all the faithful have gone? To a religion that isn't based on paranoia, that allows personal choice without the threat of damnation for all eternity, and one that will celebrate life and the basic goodness in people rather than being told you are nothing more than sinners throughout all your life and at the end, only some mortal will say if the person is worthy of going to Heaven. Based on all the sins committed by Catholics, perhaps there are as many as the priests proclaim to be in Heaven.

Bob, you are obviously one of those Godly Christians who will commit all types of ugliness against humanity while on this Earth and thinks everything will be just find when a man stands before you and says all is forgiven.

This is about religions infringement on individual rights.

That sounds like a bunch of FOX news horse@!$%#! If people shouldn't be forced to obtain healthcare so that the overall cost to the rest of us is lower/cheaper, then why don't we apply that rationale to auto insurance. You see, all the retarded thinking and musing about the healthcare law amounts to ignorant cherry-picking. Why do people except forced car insurance and balk at the same concept with regards to healthcare? And screw religion, and especially the Catholic church! That stuff makes even less sense than any man made problems, especially when you put under the microscope ALL the atrocities committed by the church, screw them! Science trumps religion, without it we would be all be still considered middle aged by 25 and dead by 45, and considered ancient by 55 (providing you are still alive).

nope as a matter of fact I am an atheist and I don't think that either a religion or the government has the right to tell me I can't make a decision regarding my own health care

Colonial82
who is talking about companies? I can make a decision not to have insurance from a company I work for. I am not required to have insurance and my decision not to does not stop anyone else from having insurance.

Bob,

It is very simple. A majority of Americans get their insurance through their jobs. Their jobs are the ones that decide what will and will not be covered under their plans. Therefore, companies make the decisions for most of us and we don't get to make the decisions.

Have a good day.

yes they do but it is still their choice whether or not they elect to particpate in the plan if they don't like the decisions the companies make for them, they can either buy an individual policy or decide to not have a health insurance policy. They have that much free will and they are not charged a penalty if they decide to opt out of the company coverage,unlike Obamacare

"just have females hold an aspirin between their knees"

I am in my mid sixties and have heard about this form of "birth control" for over 50 years.

dirtyharriet,

Or how about men keep it in their pants? It takes two to tango.

Have a good day.

At the time I am talking about getting pregnant was still considered the woman's fault.

Maybe I was ahead of my time but even back in the late 1950's, when I was a teenager, I thought it was a 50/50 proposition.

I was also being sarcastic. Didn't you see the quotation marks?

I was also saying the aspirin "birth control" method has been around for a very long time.

dirtyharriet,

I am sorry, I missed that you were being sarcastic. I am sorry for the misunderstanding.

Have a good day.

No problem. :)

I have a solution, how about everybody over the age of 50 just die already, so the younger smarter generations can take over? Really? Aspirin as birth control? How ignorant (or old) does one have to be to believe that nonsense?

This is the first time I have been deleted sice I been on the vine (six years) but I just had to say it.

Sorry :-)

I guess you are really really young.Since you obviously don't get it or know the WHOLE thing I'll try to educate you...........................

"The best form of birth control is for the woman to put an aspirin between her knees and don't let it drop"

Does it make more sense now? My children, who are in their 30's got it so did my co-worker who just turned 25.

So Angelo this older dumber person just taught you something.

Well Mr. Santorums backer Friess seems to have a solution, "just have females hold an aspirin between their knees, it's cheap". When I heard this comment I was as shocked as Andrea Mitchell the interviewer.

Except that's not what he said.

Mitchell: Do you have any concerns about some of his comments on social issues, contraception, about women in combat, and whether that would hurt his general election campaign would he be the nominee?

Friess: I get such a chuckle when these things come out. Here we have millions of our fellow Americans unemployed, we have jihadist camps being set up in Latin America, which Rick has been warning about, and people seem to be so preoccupied with sex. I think it says something about our culture. We maybe need a massive therapy session so we can concentrate on what the real issues are. And this contraceptive thing, my gosh, it’s such inexpensive. Back in my day, they used Bayer aspirin for contraceptives. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn’t that costly.

It was a joke...a very old and extremely poor one, but he wasn't serious about it, he was going for a laugh.

I first heard that one on Johnny Carson if I remember correctly...about 20 years ago.

It's only the political spin and bad taste of the joke that is making it such a shocking statement...if you listen to the clip you can easily realize it was not meant seriously.

Still stupid...but it was a joke, not a suggestion.

With age comes wisdom. Let the sound bite generation take over and push grannie off the cliff? Doesn't seem like much of a solution to me. Don't be such a hater! Sheesh, go talk to some older people and maybe you will learn something.

Merleitz, sorry but I do get it and its STILL not funny OR any of anybody else' business! You see, we have as a nation, have already gone through a sexual revolution and we are not going to turn back the hands of time to please others. Mind your own business and don't worry about others! By the way, im 46 and fully understand that there is no way in hell that men should have ANY business telling a women what is best for them when it comes to THEIR reproductive organs. How about all the guys knocking up these women start being a little more responsible when it comes to carrying around contraceptives? The days of women being property and at the whims of men are long gone. If they want to have sex (and enjoy it without worrying about getting pregnant) that's their business. We live in a totally new world where the church, governments and people of past generations don't get to decide such matters.

The Catholics are worried that the government will do the latter while trying to do the former.

CommisarCain,

I am a Catholic and my insurance covers it but I don't use it, therefore I am not sinning. No one is forcing anyone to use it. I am not worried about the government. Are you even a Catholic?

Plus are you okay with the 10-15% of women that are on birth control because it is medically required to stop them for bleeding too much not getting their required medicine?

Have a good day.

We are allowed free will as long as the GOTP tells us what our free will will be.

JBURNS

Only if you allow yourself to be made a victim

If you do that then you have indeed given up your free will

Robert, we are fighting so we don't become victims and give up our free will.

Only you can allow yourself to be a victim, no one can make you a victim, IMHO

I choose not to be a victim

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger, Susi.
