Does natural family planning qualify as a “form of contraception”? If so, then any number of the people who said they have used a form of contraception could have been referring to the form of family planning that is not forbidden by the Catholic Church.

All in all, the claim made about the number of Catholics currently using contraceptives isn’t supported by the actual questions asked on the survey. And I would question how the survey got its respondents. If I got a survey from Alan Guttmacher it would have gone in the trash as soon as I got it, so I wonder if their respondents were from their own customers - which would not accurately portray the general population.

Sort of reminds me of the methodology used to say that there were so many back-alley abortions: they took a study done among prostitutes and applied the same rate to the general population of women. If every woman was a whore their claims might have been close to accurate, but somebody should have slapped them in the face for suggesting that every American woman was a whore.

I work for a company with over 5000 employees. I participate in our med insurance plan for my wife and I. Am I self-insured? I’m a little confused with what the actual definition of self-insured is.

Helping everyone get the facts straight.

All we really need to know is that the administration is made up of self-serving Marxist liars! They want POWER,POWER and more POWER and don't care how they get it.

Good post!

Especially the part about self insured employers with state versus federal regulations.

Contraceptives are already at the state of total market saturation. You can get the jellies and jams, foams and sprays — heck, you can get a condom at any any grocery store, any truck stop, any Bubba’s Beer and Bait. Wal-Mart has the Trojan 12-pack for $4.00. That’s 33 cents apiece.

Don’t let anybody tell you this is a challenge to contraceptive availability. They could hardly be more available if they were in every bag of M&M’s in America.

This “mandated coverage,” “mandated payment” demand is nothing but a hard fist of coercion, with the intent of dictating to our churches, running our businesses, bullying our citizens, and expunging every vestige of private conscience in America.

Refuse. Resist. Rebel. This should happen everywhere: a rebirth of freedom, from sea to shining sea.
