It is immoral to use contraception? If that is your belief then having sex outside of procreation is immoral. I feel sorry for people who live by that code.
“...It is immoral to use contraception?...”
Whether it is or it isn’t is not the point. It’s “immoral” to ask the rest of us to pay for it for you. Buy your own damn contraceptives and leave the rest of us alone.
Contraception is NOT healthcare. It is a means to prevent pregnancy.
If people want to have sex and not get pregnant, they can use birth control on their OWN dime, not mine.
You are totally missing the point. This issue is not about what you, I or Tom think about contraception, sex or morality. It's about freedom of religion. By forcing Tom to pay for his employees' contraception, the government is basically telling him that his view on contraception is not valid.
You agree with that view today. What will you do when the government will tell you one day that your opinion is invalid?
Stand with Tom and his religious liberty today, so you won't stand, opressed and alone tomorrow!
I’m not going to debate the morality of contraceptive use, but I’ll offer a point for you to consider.
Separating sex from the POSSIBILITY of procreation has deep societal, cultural, and moral consequences, as we have seen since the 60’s.
The incentive for marriage is reduced, which reduces the incidence of the “family”, and the family is what directs the energies of young men toward productive, society building endeavors.
That being said, I would not have any problem with the use of contraceptives within the framework of marriage, since the family is already established at that point.
