WHAT decision of “religion over science” was made.
NOWHERE in the original legislation was the mandate that birth control MUST be in any and all insurance “policies” under the provisions of the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010”. There was a clause, “as the Secretary shall direct”, but there was nothing explicit saying that ANYTHING had to be mandated beyond eliminating the prohibition against pre-existing conditions.
I put “policies” in quotes, because, strictly speaking, this whole program is not an insurance plan, it is a pre-paid coverage or an income redistribution scheme. No “risk assessment” was ever implied, either to the enrollee or the insurance company, which will be reimbursed through the Federal Treasury, if their cash flow falls below the point of continued viability.
Another “too big to fail” crony capitalism scheme.
I can explain this as someone with a medical background in Maternal Child Health.
The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology has defined a pregnancy as beginning at implantation NOT conception, and as such argues that the 4 contraceptives considered abortive in nature scientifically do not cause abortions because ACOG ( who is a politically entity with a liberal agenda…follow the money) had redefined when life begins. The four drugs in question in the HL case therefore do not cause abortion because they occur before a pregnancy has been established. Thus these talking heads claim that “science” states that life begins after implantation not conception. Hence the “science.” Interestingly, embryology textbooks begin at conception not implantation.
Hope this helps.
So it's a semantic dodge to evade the point of the conscientious objection. Thanks for the clarification!

“Science” said the Arctic ice cap would be completely melted by 2010.
Let’s send her on a canoe trip to the North Pole.
Yes, it is a semantic dodge that generates millions of dollars in revenue. You are welcome.
SCIENCE!
Biology is absolute that the zygote is a human the minute it is fertilized. He wants his religion to overrule biology.
Pray America wakes up
America never pretended to be founded on “SCIENCE.”
In that day, “SCIENCE” was a branch of natural philosophy; and in its writings, tribute to God was frequently paid. Now tribute to Darwinism is frequently paid.
Palin/Putin is that a joke...
Let’s not forget, this is the network that thought a black hole was responsible for MH 370.
Beware of “science” where there is no science. And as a starting point, let’s call science natural phenomena that is the consistent and predictable result of scientific-method based experiments.
What do you think?
Genesis 1
English Standard Version (ESV)
26 Then God said, “Let us make man[h] in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
Did God create the scientists to discover all the science? I think so.
God is the one in control.
“Does SCOTUS Ruling Allow ‘Religion to Make Decisions Over Science?’”
No. The court ruled employers don’t have to pay for their employees’ abortions.
Lefty’s are such `tards.
The AssPimps tried to make it “all contraceptives(!)” now this retard is trying to make it the Scopes trial.
Hey Abboooottttt!!!
God doesn’t have to “trump” science. God is fully in agreement with science, to the extent that “science” is an accurate description of reality.
Leftists do not understand “science” as a procedure to identify and describe the characteristics and functions of physical reality. They understand it as a set of dogmatic beliefs about reality, which are held to be “true” as long as they serve the Revolution.
