Why should old man with no wife be forced to
pay for contraceptive for young guys. Not fair.
Judge Janice Rogers Brown
I was just thinking of JRB the other day.
In the strictly medical sense, contraception is not a preventive service, since it is meant to prevent an outcome of a completely voluntary activity.
A true preventative service prevents a condition that a person has no control over. For instance, no one can avoid being exposed to measles, but they can get a vaccine so they won’t get sick.
Even with preventative medicine like vaccines, I think people should pay for it themselves. Health insurance should not be a prepaid services plan; the price of health insurance is high precisely because people *do* look at it as a prepaid service plan.
Free Exercise is a pre-existing natural right. It does not require legislation to enforce it.
It DOES require a religious and faithful nation to exercise it, which is a big problem in the here and now.
