Seems to be what the politically motivated Rightwing believes, on this contraceptive issue.

Is freedom of the press an absolute right?

But wait.
The government can force me to purchase health insurance, what is to stop them from forcing me to buy "healthy" foods or participate in some form of "healthy" religion?
The government forces no one to buy health insurance. The rest of the post is idiocy.
The latest fad in health care reform is the "individual mandate" a law that requires individuals to purchase health insurance and threatens punishment for those who don't.
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday ruled that the health care reform laws requirement that nearly all Americans buy insurance is unconstitutional, a striking blow to the legislation that increases the odds the Supreme Court will choose to review the law.
And what, pray tell, constitutes a "compelling reason" for the government to interfere in a Constitutional right? Hmmm. That would be when the exercise of it infringes on someone else's rights, wouldn't it? So basically, you haven't contradicted a single fucking thing I said, have you?
The government is going to force us to buy health insurance, and you know it, so stop with the disingenuous pretense that they won't just because the law hasn't taken effect yet.
We all know that there ARE some things which a person cannot do -- even for true reasons of religious faith. Like, if your religious belief says you must kill a Jew, fuck yourself. You are properly and validly denied that "right" by the government.
What right does not providing birth control infringe on?
A right to birth control, obviously. Duh!
Why? Because if I don't buy the slut her birth control, she's incapable of getting it at all? Christ, the bitch has a job, or she wouldn't have health insurance. So you can't tell me she doesn't have any income with which to buy her own damned birth control!

Politically motivated, religiously motivated or morally motivated?
Regardless of the reason, does the parent of a minor child have the right to enforce or restrict contraception for their minor child? I damn sure know the government shouldn't be granted that authority over minor children much less adults.
Well, that's 2 useless CrusaderFrank posts.
This is a political issue, not a religious issue.
Of course not. There are no absolute rights. Rights exist only with the proviso that they not be exercised so as to infringe the rights of others.

[T]he Government has a fundamental, overriding interest in eradicating racial discrimination in education -- discrimination that prevailed, with official approval, for the first 165 years of this Nation's constitutional history. That governmental interest substantially outweighs whatever burden [is] place[d] on petitioners' exercise of their religious beliefs. The interests asserted by petitioners cannot be accommodated with that compelling governmental interest.

Their right to use or not use contraception is 100% protected by the First Amendment. My right to use or not use contraception depending on my own beliefs is 100% protected by the constitution. The court has already dealt with that issue in Griswold v Connecticut.
However, religious freedom isn't limitless. There are cases where kids are taken away from their parents if certain religious practices are followed. (like santaria cutting crosses into their kids to "cure" them). There have been cases brought against people who let their kids stay sick and/or die by refusing to treat them. These decisions are usually based on an infant's inability to consent and a parent's obligation to protect.
What is guaranteed is that the religious extremists have zero right to impose their belif system on the rest of us....
Not everyone working at Catholic institutions is Catholic, or even religious, so if the gov't allows you to impose your religious beliefs on your employees, that's more or less establishing religion.

I think it is hard to claim that issues about contraception are strictly political. For many it also encompasses their morals and/or religious beliefs.Politically motivated.Seems to be what the politically motivated Rightwing believes, on this contraceptive issue.

Politically motivated, religiously motivated or morally motivated?
None of this is about upholding the moral code of the Catholic Church.
If it was, the GOP would be out there trying to end capital punishment.
Regardless of the reason, does the parent of a minor child have the right to enforce or restrict contraception for their minor child? I damn sure know the government shouldn't be granted that authority over minor children much less adults.
The issue isn't contraceptives for minors.

Murder is against the law. Try again. This time with an example that is legal.
