Our Phony Contraception Debate

Not to beat a dead horse, but I thought this WSJ article on the HHS mandate was right on point, Limbaugh and Our Phony Contraception Debate by Cathy Ruse.

Here is an excerpt–

Ms. Fluke’s crusade for reproductive justice is simply a demand that a Catholic institution pay for drugs that make it possible for her to have sex without getting pregnant. It’s nothing grander or nobler than that. Georgetown’s refusal to do so does not mean she has to have less sex, only that she has to take financial responsibility for it herself.

Should Ms. Fluke give up a cup or two of coffee at Starbucks each month to pay for her birth control, or should Georgetown give up its religion? Even a first-year law student should know where the Constitution comes down on that.

If you want the church to stay out of your bedroom, then don’t ask the Church to pay for the consequences of what happens there.
