Secondly, if something you do has less than a 10% chance of success, you are not likely to call that cause and effect. For example, knee surgery has a 10% chance of death. But you don't say that you are engaging in death to replace your ACL.
Well if there is only a 10% chance that one should be able to fund their own contraceptives, according to your logic.
Um that's not the issue. The issue is whether or not it makes sense to have contraceptive coverage as part of basic healthcare insurance, alongside treatment for erectile disfunction, Urinary Tract infections, prostrate exams, HPV vaccinations... etc.
You must like Somalia, it that where your vacation home is? It is bad enough I pay for my mistakes, why should I have to pay for you uncaring idiots that think everything should be free and you should have a happy go lucky life?
Again, if you don't want to have ME pay for your mistakes as well, Somalia's the place to go. ME? I think somalia sucks. YOU are the one who advocates policies and a role for government that is what Somalia has implemented.
So as far as I can tell, Somalia would be Eden... FOR YOU. ME? I like that I have a society that helps me achive more than I can on my own, and in the case that something happens to me that I have not forseen, is there to help me in my time of need. And that definately isn't Somalia.
if "self reliance" is so great, why is Somalia in such bad shap?
No it come down that if you don't want to get pregnant, don't have sex.
See that's the part you don't get. If something has a 10% chance or less of happening, its not logical to "not do it" simply because there is a 10% chance.
What the Chuch objects to is the interferance of a leftwing government overstepping their bounds and doing what the Constitution forbids them to do.
The Constitution does not ban regulation of CIVIC BUSINESS. The Church is objecting to being asked to play by the rules of CIVIC BUSINESS, when it CHOOSES to leave its protected realm of Religious action and seek the legal and financial BENEFITS of CIVIC BUSINESS.
Sorry no. If you want to have the benefits of being a business (liability limitations, fund raising, financial transactions) you also get to submit to the CIVIC BUSINESS rules. If you don't want to, if you want to stand a point of RELIGIOUS PRIVILEDGE... you can. No one is forcing the Church to run businesses.
