sierras236 responded to a discussion called Rick Santorum's position on birth control and abortion: Clear as mud!!! in politics.
1 day ago
Nope, won't hurt him. It will be some other issue next month. It is a President Obama issue because the chances of this particular mandate being struck down by the Supreme Court are fairly high based on their previous rulings about the First Amendment. But then President Obama is doing exactly the same thing. He is a Christian (no, not a Muslim) and yet, he issued this mandate. Isn't it goi...

Some of my basic arguments apply here. 1. Someone has to be paid to make it. 2. If a company has to shell out to cover pills, it makes it more expensive to insure women. Which hurts the chances of a woman getting hired. 3. It will raise insurance prices. Broken promise number 15356 by President Obama. 4. It can eventually lead to shortages because drug manufacturers will be unable t...

It is ironic that you said that. That line was written and passed while slavery was still a practice. News flash. Humans aren't perfect. Ironically enough, even our Foundering Fathers knew that Happiness was for the most part temporary because even they could not guarantee it. As far as social change, it takes time. It takes generations for meaningful social changes to take place.

Really, when are you actually going to post sources to back up what you say instead of saying just google it. It really doesn't help your argument at all. In the political world, if you make the argument, you have to back it up. If you look deeper, the argument isn't really about birth control. It is about President Obama dictating that a company/business has to provide something (birth cont...

That's a very good point Taskr36. Just because they are getting it for free doesn't mean they are actually using it.

Because some people are just hateful for NO Reason. It might not even have anything to do with how they were raised. It's like the kid who had the most supporting and loving parents and tons of friends, who still turned out bad. Who knows why they turned out like that?

Actually, what he is asking is that the insurance companies cover all of the costs of birth control pills. In other words, he wants to hand them out for free. The problem is really one of cost for employers and insurance companies. So while the pills themselves maybe free, there are very real cost consequences as a result for the individuals. This includes such things as higher insurance premiu...

Yes, most do have some type of coverage. What I am talking about is the insurance companies that have co-pays on birth control pills. The President is talking about taking away these co-pays and that alone will make insurance rates rise for the simple fact that the costs are no longer shared. Another thing to think about is that most insurance companies tend to bundle people together. This m...

Nope. It is about being free. It is more about the money than the Religious argument. You see the back story behind this is that insurance companies themselves are not exactly thrilled at the process. While they haven't had as much media attention, you can bet they are crunching the numbers on this. You are hearing the Religious argument because that is the current media fixation. No offense...

I wouldn't call it hypocrisy. I would call it more an idealistic hope for their future country. Our Founding Fathers did have some insight and I think that they knew that social changes wouldn't be immediate and that they would take time.
