The order requiring that birth control pills be force fed to all US women . . . . .

. . . . will NEVER be issued, Rick. N.E.V.E.R.

There is no usurpation of religion in the name of contraception, Rick.

See, here's the deal. You've been framing this as the new law somehow forcing contraception on church employees.

It doesn't, Rick. It allows anyone who chooses to *not* take advantage of the offer.

So tell ya what. Make the point to people, solely on the merits, that birth control is bad. If people buy your line, then your problem is solved. If people *still* choose birth control, you can conclude your argument failed to convince at least those people who make the choice to use birth control.

If you fail to convince people and they still want to choose to use birth control, then what do you think ought to be done?

So . . . . . Rick? Wuddaya say? What do we do with these people? Really. What are the options?

No, there's nothing you can do about them, which is why Catholic women don't even bother confessing that they're using birth control, it's just none of the church's business and they know it.

However, if they don't get out of politics, I think we can safely assume that Catholic women will stop putting anything into the collection plate, too.

That's why we need laws. Otherwise people will just choose whatever they feel like. That would be bad. Really bad.
