Why are atheists so angry?

They're like the Taliban destroying Buddhist statues with cannons.

Birth control covered under health insurance isn't "free" CG. I guess you forgot, but individuals pay for insurance. And what do you suppose the cost of raising a child is vs. birth control? Hmmmm. No wonder you conservatives can't balance a checkbook.
And I'm sure you probably know this... but not every employee at a Catholic hospital or institution is Catholic. Not even close. Sounds like the Catholics are trying to impose their beliefs on their employees.

So what if the Catholic Church decides that radiation is no longer an acceptable method of cancer treatment? Can they deny all of their employees radiation treatment "just because"?

It's the religion ruling the masses if you ask me. Actually... no. Don't ask me. Just ask all of the dead or starving people around the world who have been so lucky as to have been indoctrinated by Catholic missionaries. Ask them how that prohibition of birth control is working for them. The Catholic Church is responsible for thousands of deaths worldwide every year because of their archaic belief that birth control shouldn't be used.

How about you stop forcing your religious laws on innocent victims? ... maybe then you can criticize Obama for trying to create an even playing field.

I may be wrong

because I am not a woman, but in addition to birth control, aren't the pills used to regulate a woman's cycle and hormones, relieve cramping, and even to treat acne? Aren't those legitimate, medical uses for birth control pills? Shouldn't that be covered by insurance? What does the Catholic church have against women's' health?

The definition of a contraceptive is: "tending or serving to prevent conception or impregnation." We may not agree with the Catholics on this, but they should have the right to practice what they preach in their faith without government intervention even if many Catholics choose not to. It is still a personal choice and the Catholics are not demanding that others follow.

Yes, "free" Missy.You pay

Yes, "free" Missy.
-Obama even said the word "free" at least a half a dozen times in his little speech Friday when he was explainiing how he would force insurance companies to cover it.
You pay your health insurance premium for a service Missy - not for the "product". If you have diabetes, is all of your diabetic medication "free" after you pay your insurance premium? -No.
You said yourself a couple posts back that government was going to "mandate" that insurance providers pay for it.
-This just adds yet another reason for everyone's premiums to go up.

And where does Obama get off forcing private businesses to do ANYTHING?
I think guns can play a vital role in protecting your home and your family. How would you feel if our government decided everyone should own a gun and mandate that you purchase one? Of course, for those who couldn't afford it, the government could come in and tell your homeowners insurance provider to purchase a weapon for their clients who were poor, which would raise everyone's insurance rates. How would you feel about that?

You ALWAYS bring up "the cost of raising a child" versus......whatever it is you're arguing.
Shouldn't the "cost of raising a child" be factored in to the decision making process of having sex? Are we stripping people of ALL personal responsibility nowadays?
Talk about "not being able to balance a checkbook"...........it's all you stupid liberals that have sex before thinking of the possible consequences (or have sex TO get pregnant so you can collect a bigger welfare check) who are the folks not balancing their checkbooks.

I have a news flash for you Missy...........before you make the decision (keep in mind there are consequences to decision making, and keep in mind personal responsibility) to go to work for a Catholic organization, you need to make a choice on whether their policies are the best fit for you.
-You can always get a job someplace else. Nobody is forcing you to work there.

If I'm looking for work and I read an employee handbook and decide that I don't like some of the rules/policies that employer has, I make the decision on whether I want to work for them or not.
-I don't go to work for them and then try and change THEIR rules to accommodate me and my beliefs.
Maybe all Catholic organizations should only hire Catholics from now on. Can you imagine the crying we would hear from the Left THEN? Ha!

And as far as the "dead and starving" people around the world, you may want to check into the amount of charity religious organizations take part in before making an outrageous claim like that Missy. In fact, 1 in every 6 people needing medical treatment are treated at a Catholic hospital - and many are treated for little or no cost.
Talk about "indoctrinated" Missy...........you're so indoctrinated by your own NON-religious beliefs that it makes your head spin.

RH- This isn't about "health care". This is a constitutional issue. This is about religious freedom. This is about our government FORCING a religious institution to go against their teachings. It's also about our government FORCING private industry to provide a service or a product to people, as Missy would say......."just because".
Geee........I'm surprised that you 1st Amendment experts aren't getting this. You and Missy are the first people to speak up when a Library has a Nativity scene on their lawn, or a Post Office wants to put up some Christmas lights, or God forbid, kids in school sing Christmas carols during a school play.........but you fail to see the problem with this issue.
-The hypocrisy is astounding. LOL

You know

if altarboys could get pregnant, the Catholic church might not be against birth control.

Funny..........it looks to me

Funny..........it looks to me that the person telling people to bend over and grab their ankles is Obama RH.
He's saying bend over to Catholics.
He's saying bend over to private businesses.
He's saying bend over to many taxpayers.
He's saying FU to right-to-work states.
He's saying FU to oil exploration and independence.
He's saying FU to Israel.
He's saying FU to State rights.
He's saying FU to the Constitution.
He's saying FU to Congress and making up his own rules.
I could go on and on.....

-Well guess what...........people's butts are getting sore and they've had enough.

Even non-Catholics are having a problem with this RH. Many people see it for exactly what it is - a power grab by the federal government and a radical left-wing loon forcing his ideology on religion and private business.
-And they're worried they could be next.
