ACA and Religion

Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor just gave a handful of religious institutions a temporary "stay" from having to provide birth control coverage to their employees. Even though President Obama had included in the ACA a provision for those working in or for religious institutions so they can buy birth control coverage through separate insurance. It's crazy!

I just don't get this birth control issue. If a woman wants to use birth control, and MOST women do...religious, or not, than what is the problem? I get REALLY tired of religious institutions "mandating" lifestyles, especially knowing they are "sinners" themselves. And they all..sinners, right? Isn't that what the confessionals are for? MOVE ON. Let the powers that be...do the judging. Just control what YOU do in YOUR life, and we'll all be just fine. NEXT.

You are right, it's crazy. The church and the GOP are all about control of a woman's body.
Well it's none of their stinking business.

They should know by now they've lost on that one.
