If you were in the government, would you find this unconstitutional or constitutional? They vote vtomorrow.

I admit that I'm not an expert on it, but how would it be Unconstitutional?

Maybe im not as well-informed on politics as everyone else, but was it wrong for me to expect insight about the specifics of this Act after entering the thread?

I mean, hell, all triplehfan does is regurgitate news, the least he could have done was throw in a link to whatever he read before he asked for WF's opinion on it. This is the law that pro-lifers wish to pass so that organizations that are opposed to abortion/contraception don't have to provide health care plans that pay for contraception. This is that discussion about old guys deciding the best way to care for women's reproduction. |

I am against it, personally. I don't enjoy people's beliefs being forced on EVERYONE.

I was against it. You can debate it as unconstitutional, but that is a bit of a stretch, in my opinion. I think it is more of a moral/ethical issue. I think the better argument would be that abortion/contraceptions are personal choices, so an employer should not have to pay for something that is not a necessity.
I just read that it was blocked in Senate by 1 vote, so I guess the issue is over for now.

I think people are a bit confused here.
The Right to Conscience Act was against making employers and health insurance companies provide contraception and other services, and that was what was shot down today. So, basically Obama's birth control policy was upheld by the killing of this bill. I haven't really learned enough about the issue to form a strong opinion either way, personally.

The thing that's unconstitutional is the health care mandate to begin with.

I have no idea why people are debating the morality of birth control. That strikes me as totally bizarre.

It's against some religions to have a blood transfusion. No one debates the morality of blood transfusions. Some religions teach against doctors altogether. No one debates the morality of doctors. Why birth control? And honestly, the idea that all sex should be procreative is so ridiculously archaic that it's laughable. That's coming from a religious guy. |

If my values say that a woman is property and I can beat her if I want to, can the feds say that I can't? 'Cuz some religions teach that kind of nonsense. |

Separation of church and state please.
I'm not religious, I dont mind religion I just feel it should never ever have a say in politics especially in a country that claims it has no religion.

You pull out these hypothetical bullcraparguments instead of arguing on what is presented. |
