http://news.yahoo.com/romney-joins-fight-contraception-rule-230254626.htmlSo it seems the latest thing to distract us from real issues is should it be easy or very difficult to get birth control....
Forgetting entirely that Romney's health care policy has the exact same language and has under his governorship since 2002, WTF? We live in a world where half of 7 Billion people don't have access to clean water or food. What is the Catholic Church concerned with: making sure people don't have birth control so we can have more people we can't feed. This is a huge issue to them: war on religion?
We've got nothing better to talk about or work through really? It's a "violation of conscience?" Isn't it funny how their "conscience" doesn't seem to bother them quite so much about the shitloads of people being created that we simply won't feed and will let die? Where's the moral outrage about that exactly? World overpopulation, hunger, thirst, war, disease, whatever, let's make it harder for women to get birth control. What a fucking terrible thing, and it simply "must" be stopped right?
Why the hell does it seem religious stuff gets hung up on all the insignificant parts of belief? What're we fighting over this for? This is the issue that's most important right now? This? This is somehow from the article and Romney:
“Think what that does to people in faiths that do not share those views; this is a violation of conscience,” he said. “We must have a president who is willing to protect America's first right, our right to worship God according to the dictates of our own conscience.”
He added, “The Creator gave every human being his rights. I’m just distressed as I watch our president try and infringe upon our rights. The First Amendment of the Constitution provides the right to worship in the way of our own choice."
So the "right to worship," includes the right to tell basically everyone in society how to live or at least make it incredibly difficult for them to do pretty much anything your religion doesn't like? It's just a "violation of conscience" to let someone make their own medical decisions easily. We're not even talking about abortion, in the slightest. We're talking about a pill. There's no fetus involved, there is one woman making a choice to be on birth control for many, many different possible reasons and some of them don't even involve contraception. What the hell business is it of anyone's if she takes that? These are the same people who thought you could get a PAP smear at Walgreens.... Butt the hell out....
I'm just getting sick of being expected to live up to someone else's imaginary friend that I don't believe in. Seems everything's a "violation of conscience" for some, except the poor, the sick, the hungry. Where's the outrage over that? That "violation of conscience," is a dangerous illegitimate trump card that they can apply and often do apply to anything: homosexuality, women's rights, somehow taxes.... Anything that there isn't a rational argument against, just substitute "violation of conscience," and magically it's legitimate. And, O joy, we're picking presidents based upon this? Again, never mind the fact that this is exactly what Romney has been doing as Gov of Mass State since 2002....
You wanna know what I think this crap is about? What a coincidence that the whole "defund planned parenthood," initiative failed both by the US Government and the whole breast cancer charity thing. Well if they can't mess up women's health one way, then they'll try another.... Round 3 of the current fight against women's health?

She said to look at other more recent constitutions rather than just the US constitution. And for this, she's getting bad press....
