Have Catholics objected to providing vasectomies as well as other forms of contraceptives? If this gal is trying to claim that Catholics just have it in for contraceptives that women use, she’s totally nuts. As far as I know, the Catholic Church wants to be free to follow their own belief, which prohibits all birth control except natural family planning - which, incidentally, is just as much a burden on the husband as on the wife. It is a mutually-shared responsibility.

So if this gal is claiming sexism by Catholics, she’s nuts.

But then, it seems like she’s really convoluting everything. This is about whether the government can force non-Muslim organizations to pay for birth control and abortions, while not requiring the same thing of Muslims who claim that any insurance at all is gambling. And she’s trying to make it equivalent to the government saying no guy can ever get a vasectomy.

There are more leaps in that logic than in a whole rendition of “Swan Lake”. lol. But she apparently hasn’t figured that out yet.

Pretty sure that Catholics would frown on that as a sin, but they are not asking government to “ban” it at all. That would be unsuitable for a country that isn’t all Catholic.
