To be fair to Repubes, it isn't they per se who are against it, it is the Catholic church who is against the idea that they should be forced to cover something they believe is a "sin."

The Repubes are just using it as another prong in their attack on health care reform, ie, "OMGZ OBAMA IS ATTACKING RELIGION RAWR!"

So in other words Groucho you are wrong in your assertion and this is something new forcing churches to do it. It would benefit your credibility immensely if you weren't viewed as an Obama sycophant. Although because of it I knew you couldn't resist.

1) What the hell are you doing tasting someone elses posts?

2) Tych, who do you talk politics with then??


<--- my impression of Tych talking politics



1) I am Italian, tasting is what we do!
2) I don't normally talk about politics anymore. Occasionally here when I am so inclined. I've learned nothing ever good comes from talking politics with loved ones. I do discuss politics with people I don't care if I piss off.

Why not? It's not that scary? I argue politics all the time with my family and we might disagree but we still get along it's just politics. Me and my dad had a long heated argument about integrity and the internet last weekend over a fine dinner, in the end we agreed to disagree and I paid for the cognac and espresso.

I like discussing politics with family, there are different ways to go about it me and my dad can't really discuss things civilly we get angry at each other but I can have a civil debate about politics with my cousin whose a bit Libertarian/conservative and not think ill of him for it, as I said it's just politics.

Why not?

Listen. I've done it. I don't do it anymore. Why do I want to have heated debated with my father? Why would I want to stress him out at 76? I would rather talk about baseball or football or cooking with him and enjoy what time he has left.

We argue as all Italian families do, but its not about politics.

It always makes me laugh when the same people who oppose contraception also oppose a woman's right to get an abortion.


It's like they can't think it all the way through and there's only two steps!

As a fellow Italian, I know what that is like all too well.


My dad is a self proclaimed libertarian and every time we talk about politics we get in arguments. I tell him Bill O'Reilly is brainwashing him and he thinks it's blasphemy lol.

Even 3,000 miles apart I have to refrain from bringing up politics.

More birth control and more sex education then less abortions. You would think they would be for those things!

I would guess they think that since contraceptives are stopping pregnancies from happening, it's like preemptive abortion.

Regardless of someone's abortion leanings, thinking contraceptives and sex education are a sin or immoral is an archaic way to look at life.


The pro-lifers need to give it up, there is no chance in hell that Roe v Wade will ever get overturned.

You just don't get it. We are against forcing people to do things. You on the other hand seem to think government should be run by kings. Makes me see what century you are in.

As for you other hate mongers; look at the numbers before your wonderful programs before and after. Every time liberals force their ideas on people the problems get worse. Then they act like those who point out their failures are the real problem.



You don't think things through more than one step do you?

Funding birth control will actually save the gov't money in the long run, unless you do away with ALL public assistance.

Which ain't never gonna happen.

true true..

I like arguing, and winning a argument against my dad makes my day, and he also likes arguing so it's somewhat of a pastime for us.
