It illustrates just how evil and just how far removed from the lives of everyday Americans the bigots of the Republican Party have pushed themselves.<br /><br />As far as making laws that restrict religious freedom, my Wotan-given rights are trampled everyday as I am not allowed to Blood Eagle every despicable right-wing villain who darkens my path.Grung_e_Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01894879088472559055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293433952655399056.post-29953342753970122262012-02-10T11:39:33.729-06:002012-02-10T11:39:33.729-06:00Excellent.

The foundation of it was brought in by Clinton and Bush and the GOP did nothing to overturn it, because it made sense, and because 95% of catholic women have at some time used some type of contraception. Women, even catholic women are not behind this kerfluffel, only the bishops, Fox, and the GOP hard core which all that boils down to.......a few men. <br />The law says churches operated as churches do not have to provide this insurance coverage. But if a church operates a cafe, hospital, university, they have to provide it. A quick inspection of a number of catholic schools and pseudo businesses found nearly every one offers this, so the impact will be on only a very few of these and since it is not a church they must comply with all laws. <br />And what of making laws that restrict religious behavior, we do that all the time with no GOP backlash nor the bishops fussing. Laws say Mormons cannot have multiple wives. Laws say Egyptian Muslims here cannot cut the clitoris off their girl children. Where are the GOP begging for those rights to be restored to right the wrongs of the war on religion. <br />This is good news for Obama that the GOP is spending this time and effort on an issue that will chase more women from their ranks and it gives us a break on the usual droll music they march to.the yellow fringehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00003652058436636394noreply@blogger.com
