Some 98 percent of sexually active Catholic women in the United States have used contraceptive methods banned by the church, research published on Wednesday showed
Nearly 70 percent of Catholic women use sterilization, the birth control pill or an IUD, according to the Guttmacher Institute research.
The findings nearly match previous NSFG data from 2002, which showed that 97 percent of Catholic women were using birth control, and are consistent with a trend tracked over the last decade by Catholics for Choice.

Maybe because before there was birth control, child birth was the number one killer of women.
Is was ?
How the hell did mankind ever get along before the US government came around ?
Mandating big pharma corporate products that prohibit, and end human life.
Birth control is the number one 'people' killer, and many of those are women.edit on 1-4-2014 by neo96 because: (no reason given)

That is the only God they trust.
And apparently the only god the pro birth control crowd 'trust' is government.

They (government) are in it for control.
Yes they are, and they sure do not like competition which is why they continually go after that religious institution.
There can be only one 'moral' authority.
Government knows best, and the 'masses' don't know jack.

Shame on you, Hobby Lobby.
Shame on you for hiding behind religious beliefs when all you had to say was "People shouldn't have to pay for other peoples bad choices" or "we're too cheap to pay for your unwanted pregnancies" and left it at that

That is nothing but an insult to women.
Being told they need a big strapping government to take care of them.

I have many issues about this manufactured outrage.
Among them is this:
The Yasmin lawyers at Saiontz & Kirk, P.A. are reviewing potential lawsuits for users of the Yaz or Yasmin birth control pill, as the drug maker has failed to adequately warn that otherwise healthy young women could face an increased risk of serious health problems caused by Yasmin side effects. - See more at: www.youhavealawyer.com...

Miraculously for some odd reason out of all big pharma products made.
Birth control is the 'safest'.
Which is why they are defending that epic stupidity.
I don't get it.
It's a political issue, not a social, moral issue.
They (government) are in it for control.
Did you hear that little part in it that says there will be no laws respecting the establishment of religion? If they were to change the ACA because of HB wanting to force their employees to live by their religious beliefs then they will be respecting the establishment of religion.edit on 1-4-2014 by buster2010 because: (no reason given)

if the government rules in favor of HL then its a win. if they rule against HL, HL said they will shut there doors and be forced to lay off 1,000's of people because they will not be forced to go against there believes. I say bravo to HL for sticking to there guns if they do so.

HL is not forcing anyone to live by their religious beliefs. if the employee doesn't like it, they can work somewhere else. Now when the government forces there beliefs on you, you obey or go to jail.edit on 2-4-2014 by camaro68ss because: (no reason given)
So you think that people should be able to cry it's against my religion and do whatever they want regardless of what the law says?
Amendment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

I am against the 'religious' human sacrifice that is called abortion.
Since it has a cult following using that religious institution called government.

Well I don't think that is a religion, but hey I guess your issue isn't religious freedom as you say.
You seem to be for a specific religious freedom.
