Ok, and what you do on your own time is your own responsibility.

The organization doesn't carry blame if you do something that hurts yourself on your own time.


Are you suggesting they control the use of insurance which is a benefit?

Advances in sciences allow us to disprove the ideas of old, in some cases. While you're right, some parts of science build off of others, other parts of science have misconceptions built into them that are disproved as time goes on.

How about this.
Teenage pregnancy rates tend to go up in states where sex education either isn't taught or is replaced by 'abstinence only education'.

Therefore if you oppose pregnant teens (let's be honest there's nothing beneficial about getting pregnant in or before high school)
Then you should support the teaching of sex ed as well as how to use birth control and condoms.

As a policy teaching abstinence alone only exacerbates the problem. That is fact.

Yes blaming the Jesuits for a practice that's actively being forced on you by the Native Japanese is evil while at the same time turning a blind eye to the wars the Jesuits caused in Latin America in defense of Native Americans against Slavery in their Jesuit Reductions. You have selective amnesia. You just remember and state things that you like and then close your ears to other facts.

Women's birth control is far more expensive and should be covered.

Just hormonal birth control for the regulation of menstruation cycles, as many women struggle with menstrual pain.

If the state has the funds to take care of children, then shouldn't the state have the money to cover the much lesser expense of condoms, creating conditions where people can have children when ready?

I hope you realize that the backlog in the system isn't with infants, but with older children. Therefore, the issue isn't with parents having surprise pregnancies, because they can simply put the infant up for adoption, without causing any backlog whatsoever.

I'm sure what kids are watching and what's popular in the culture has nothing to do with peoples' current perception of sex.

You don’t have issues with the company decided what you can do with your insurance? The Church is basically a company when you look at the finance structure.

If they don’t like it; don’t offer it. The problem? They wouldn’t attract the skilled workers needed.
