And another thing, St. Luke would vomit at the suggestion that he should conflate administering poison with practicing medicine. He, like the other disciples of Hippocrates, took an oath never to administer poisons or abortifacients, nor use the medical arts for evil or teach them to anyone who would refuse to take the solemn and self-malefactory Hippocratic Oath. The only part of the Hippocratic Oath that violates Christian teaching is the original invocation, which was to the pagan god, Apollo. The modern version uses a Christian invocation instead, while preserving the body of the oath.

How on earth can you say that any organization, especially a religious one, doesn't have the right to practice its religion? Catholics are opposed to contraception. Don't like their policies? Work somewhere else. I would never work for a catholic organization, because I oppose (most vehemently) their stand on nearly every religious issue imaginable. Guess what? I DON'T HAVE TO. I can work wherever I wish.

I'm sick and tired of whiny little cry-babies who join organizations, or accept employment with companies, whose aims, goals and positions on issues are well-known, and who then turn around demanding that the organization change to suit them. It's like building your house next to a garbage dump, then complaining about the smell.

People need to grow up, and stop whining about everything. And I am forced to wonder if you would be so defensive on this issue, if the roles were reversed. If someone joined an atheist group, and starting complaining that they didn't celebrate (or allow time off for) some religious holy day, would you defend his rights then? Or call him (rightly so, in my book) an idiotic child, crying over his own mistakes?

They do not have to use contraception but they do not have the right to deny that coverage to their employees.
