    Stuck? I'm not the one working overtime trying to convince us that a contraceptive isn't really a contraceptive. But your side has issues with that, a conservative woman isn't really a woman, a conservative black isn't really black, and apparently some contraceptives aren't really contraceptives.

    Nothing you've said changes the meaning of contraceptive use being "virtually universal."

    I gave you a link to the job descriptions and titles as well as the pay, and they were well within equal work for equal pay standards so your race baiting is plain silly.
    No more silly than being called a racist for saying the word "basketball" or "golf."

    Not according to present LAW.. I thought you wingers were the LAW and ORDER party. No, huh?? It depends on WHAT law, huh?

    Didn't you tell me on another thread that law abiding right wingers would NEVER carry their weapons onto a NO GUN zone because they're soooooooo righteous and law abiding??

    You DID tell me that... But, you wingers don't mind undermining a woman's LEGAL rights... How do you deal with THAT hypocrisy?

    What are you talking about ? I'm trying to change the law because the law is an unconstitutional violation of their baby's rights. What ? You don't think I have that right to have that opinion ;and to do what is in my power to change it ?

    You can divine implication all day but that doesn't make you right. The graphic clearly uses the word "regulate".

    BTW your personal attacks are getting tedious, better tone it down.

    Hello again, tom:

    You have the right to CHANGE the law through the legislative process. You DON'T have the right to pass laws that INTERFERE with SUPERIOR laws. That is just SO. THOSE laws are ALL UNCONSTITUTIONAL...

    For example, there's some NEW anti abortion laws dealing with the physical parameters of the building.. The INTENT of those laws is to INTERFERE with a women's RIGHTS. It's NOT about buildings.

    That isn't how we do things in this great land of ours.. In fact, those actions are UNCONSTITUTIONAL actions. Just like you're chipping away at the Civil Rights Act with voter suppression laws is UNCONSTITUTIONAL...

    Law and order party... Yeah, right.

    So you agree the contraceptive mandate is unconstitutional, because my right to freedom of religion is SUPERIOR to regulatory overreach.

    I knew it, you think your rights are superior to a woman's rights. That's not so, sorry. The church is not the law, nor are your beliefs. Neither should be imposing their BELIEFS on others who have different beliefs.

    We all have a right to practice our beliefs within the law. Women have a right to abortions, and insurance companies must provide contraceptives to those they cover. That's the law. And it was ruled constitutional despite your beliefs that it isn't.

    You don't believe in contraceptives, then don't use them. Don't stop me though because I do believe in them as a better choice than abortions. Now if giving up MY rights as a condition of employment for the church, then pay me and I will get my own insurance that meets MY needs. Of course the church would never do something so reasonable because they rather you do as they say according to THEIR beliefs.

    I don't believe the church or anyone's belief should be above the law. Especially when they disregard my rights under the law. That's religious OVER REACH in my book. How is that okay?

    I've never seen such convoluted thinking, Tal, not to mention outright fantasy. It's as simple as this, I have a constitutional right to religious freedom.

    Quote:

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
    No one has a constitutional right to free contraceptives and again, you are the only one imposing anything on anyone by forcing the church to bow to the god of government and capitulate to YOUR beliefs.

    I mean really, how do you come up with this nonsense?

    How is mandating insurance companies to carry contraceptives prohibiting the free exercise of your religion?

    So do those who work for the church don't they?

    They have a right to equal protection under the law.

    The government is not a god, just a vehicle to write and apply the laws equally and protect ALL its citizens no matter what individual beliefs they have or don't have.

    The law applies to employers with 50 employees. The church does take out payroll taxes don't they?? Stop crying until the exemption language comes out. Since you believe any bodies rights except yours and your church is a fantasy.

    Fact is free contraceptives is a benefit of the insurance policy you have. The insurance policy is a benefit in place of cash/salary. Just saying.

    Exactly how does not buying your contraceptives prohibit your exercise of religion?
