Both parties are trying to score as many political points as they can over this latest birth control incident.   Dems claim Repubs want to ban birth control while Repubs claim Obama wants to force churches to accept birth control.   As usual the truth lies somewhere in the middle of these claims.

There are NO Republican candidates for President, or any other Federal position, who is seeking a ban on Birth Control.  This was an invention by the rabid Liberal Media in an attempt to create fear in the Liberal Sheeple base.  The Left has found that the abortion topic is a loser for them.... a majority is now against murdering babies in the womb, so the media created this entire scenario out of whole cloth.

Just remember.... when the media says anything, just say to yourself, "It is a big fat lie!"

Is far more apt to occur in this country than sharia law ever was. In fact the american taxpayers already subsidize the christian and jewish faith and both favor war in the middle east because of bibical scriptures. Insanely they wish to make bibical prophesy come true. That is only part of the danger of christian influence in politics.

I don't care if christians or jews have a voice in our politics as long as they don't impose their brand of law upon the American people. Fish on fridays, no pork in our diets, No birth control and no abortions. See there is few limits to the intrusion they would have in the free lives of american people.

They equate God's law as superior to the law of the people. Those that don't share their dogma are somehow deficient in moral authority.. Offer your message all you want but don't expect us to take it.

You compare Christians to sharia. Where does this fall?

How is that any different than the taxpayers subsidizing the religions of global warming, investment banking, etc, etc.?

So tell us the story behind that picture you keep using there r3020.

Was this the result of a problem pregnancy where the mother's life was on the line?

Was it a 'choice' to abort or a necessity?

How many abortions are carried out at the term of pregnancy?

It is a picture of sadness and sorrow and I am sure the mother feels the same but it is not representative of most abortions.

Now what are you doing to stop unwanted pregnancies so it does not happen except in the most necessary of situations?

We frequently get lectured here about the wisdom of the founding fathers but their truly revolutionary vision of a separation of church and state doesn't seem to be a prime topic.

On the matter of Afghanistan, I am reminded of when US action in that country was being initiated we were treated to an onslaught of stories about Taliban atrocities and particularly about the plight of women there. I think that, and the fact that Iraq was on center stage, is why we could just kind of file Afghanistan away as the "good" war.

Never mind that we were just kicking the tar baby.

One of the founding ideas was freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion.

If some are 'offended' by having a Christmas display somewhere, and others are offended if it is taken down, it would seem to me that the government should have no official stance either way.  Nowhere in the Constitution can I find a clause that gives people a right not to be offended by someone else that isn't hurting them.

I need and use a tooth brush and tooth paste, every day.   Should I require the tax payers (other people's money) to buy those items for me?   Some of my underwear has some holes in it.  Must I bill the United States Treasurey (again, someone else's money) to buy a pack of Fruit of the Looms®?

If someone needs contraception, dig out the pocket book, and purchase it.   Can't afford it???  WELL, keep Tom's Harry D¡¢k out of your "yoo-hoo".   If you are too broke to afford your own contraception, you are too broke to have kids.... and if you do have one, adopt it out to someone who desperately wants to raise a kid.
