Jindal teaches the Catholic Church a lesson

Sex outside of marriage isn’t moral according to Catholicism.

Correction: Sex outside of marriage isn’t moral according to Catholicism which bases it's teaching on the matter on Scripture.(for those who are neither Catholic nor readers of Scripture)

[Campion]

Nothing man made about it. It's part of natural law and taught in Scripture (Gen 28 and the condemnation of pharmakeia in the NT. And, prior to 1930, EVERY Christian denomination in the world recognized this. Your teachings have changed. Ours haven't.

[Pollster1]

Jindal is right. If Catholics are permitted to vote for Obama, which is a massively evil act, how can the Church leadership honestly object to advocating for free will on birth control? It would be nice to remove employers from any involvement with “reproductive rights” - and let the perpetually amorous Sandra Fluke pay for her own hobby.

I stand corrected (That’s what I had in mind). Be that as it may, does it mean that because sex outside marriage is immoral, our government should then make it illegal?

That was my question to the other poster.

Bobby Jindal fully supports the teachings of the Church, but realizes they are not binding on anyone outside the Church. Heck the vast majority of Catholic women don't follow the teaching either.

What Jindal is talking about would obviate the need for Catholic institutions, or business owners, to pay for contraception for any employees, because it would no longer come under the aegis of a Prescription Drug Plan. No insurance company covers 'over the counter' medications.

[RobbyS]

Jindal realizes that over-the-counter drugs are not covered by insurance. Birth control devises are legal, and all that is required to get them is a visit to a doctor. The price will go up, and this will do as much to discourage their use as requiring a doctor’s visit.

[DBeers]

If the Catholic bishops really wanted their schools and hospitals as well as any employer with religious scruples to be exempt from the Affordable Care Act’s contraception mandate, they would be helping the Obama Administration find a way to provide free contraceptive coverage to all women–or at least not getting in the way of the Administration’s doing so.

You post this leftist trash and call it conservative? Religious freedom is inherent and inalienable -it is NOT something to be wanted nor something to be negotiated from and acquirement from government -get a clue!!!!

You disagree with the Church and want contraception legal -fine! Do you have to push a leftist theme to promote such evil -it seems so....
