Insuring the Uninsurable - Reason.com
Controversy rages over the Obama administration s proposed (and later modified) mandate that all employers including Catholic hospitals and universities include free contraception in their employee health insurance policies. Catholic officials orlistat object that since their church forbids contraception, the decree violates the First Amendment orlistat s protection of religious freedom. Others have joined in the protest, prudently anticipating that this violation of freedom of conscience could spread to other matters and other faiths. RELATED ARTICLES orlistat Obama s Bogus Budget
Those raising the objection have an unimpeachable case. The precedent apparently set in the more than two dozen states that already have similar mandates is irrelevant. What s immoral does not become moral simply orlistat by precedent. The principle that no one should be forced to finance that which he or she finds abhorrent is sound. In fact, it should be generally applied.
Defenders of the decree are quite good at changing the subject. Of course they are what else have they got? To hear them, you d think someone has proposed that contraception be outlawed. (Well, Rick Santorum does seem to favor that; but he s pretty much alone.) ObamaCare champions would have us believe the controversy is about access to certain products and services. All the decree does, they say, is provide insurance coverage for, and therefore access, to free contraception (along with other preventive services) orlistat for women who want it. But that just raises another question:
Access does not depend on coverage. We have access orlistat to many important things orlistat not covered by insurance. Weirdly, some say the decree actually affirms religious freedom. How so? Sens. Barbara Boxer, Jeanne Shaheen, and Patty Murray explained in the Wall Street Journal : [T]he millions of American women who choose to use contraception should not be forced to follow religious doctrine, whether Catholic or non-Catholic.
In orlistat other words, lack of insurance coverage for contraception is equivalent to being forced orlistat not to use contraception. That is some strange argument, but it s what we ve come to expect from members of the world s greatest deliberative body.
Access to birth control is directly linked orlistat to declines in maternal and infant mortality, can reduce the risk of ovarian cancer, and is linked to overall good health outcomes, Sens. Boxer, Shaheen, and Murray write.

When mommy bought you your studded butt plug and your computer, did she explain that she was able to acquire them because of capitalism? Are you now ashamed you use a computer? Don't you think you should throw it away?

This is what happens when you rely on a simple Google search, White Imbecile. 10 to 1 you didn't even read that book. Stannard simply assumes that the 95% wipe out is correct and from there proceeds to estimate 145 million dead native Americans, without realizing that most Mexicans orlistat (just to begin with) are of native American ascent directly, as well as almost all Guatemalans, all Salvadoreans, many Hondurans, almost all Bolivians, most Peruvians, etc. etc. There is NO way that you can have those populations with "95%" of their ancestors being wiped out. Stannard orlistat simply happens to be an anti-Western ideologue, and you're still an imbecile who would cry like a little wussy girl if having to fend for yourself in your beloved "original affluent society."
Yeah, orlistat except, of course, that the American Indians were wiped out by the European orlistat colonial powers, orlistat England orlistat and Spain; the US didn't even exist at the time. Furthermore, almost all of them were killed by European diseases, not guns. And many of the European political structures and dynasties that were responsible for the "American holocaust" still exist in Europe. For the past two centuries, the US has been trying to clean up after the messes the Europeans created in the Americas and elsewhere.
Sputnik was a propeganda investment made by the Soviets at the cost of the Soviet people. Arguably, the space race only happened because the Soviets needed to COMPETE orlistat with the Americans or risk having their top down economic ideals challenged
