"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion." First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution...
The hot topic of the day is the continuous debate concerning the HHS mandate for employers of religiously affiliated institutions to supply their employees with insurance for contraceptives. I am absolutely disgusted, frustrated, and damnably mad at the way in which this debate is being framed... at times I consciously have to remove myself from such conversations because the stupidity, illogicality, and utter ignorance about the issue makes my blood boil; I'm trying to remain a somewhat charitable, practicing Christian. So please bear with me as I go on my tirade about the imbecility of the populace, the media outlets, and the pro-HHS mandate legislators. Most fundamentally this issue is an issue of Religious Freedom and the violation of the first amendment. Let me be very clear, "THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE OF CONTRACEPTION!"
