Evelyn, you very well know that ALL women who wish any form of contraception
can acquire it for FREE at any Planned Parenthood facility or non-religious
college or university clinic. It has ALWAYS been that way.


You haven't been following the numerous attacks on Planned Parenthood
that have been taking place in the more conservative states, have you?
I agree, it HAD "always been that way" (at least since Roe v Wade), but
in many states it no longer IS!


Let's not continue to make this an issue of contraception...that is what the
Democrats want everyone to believe. The real issue is FREEDOM of
RELIGION...the freedom to practice ones religion according to church law and
doctrine. The government has NO right to change the doctrine teachings of
ANY religion, in this case the Roman Catholic Church, and force Catholic
institutions (such as hospitals) to provide abortions or
medications/procedures to end life.


Well, that depends upon whether one considers hospitals "religious" or
"scientific" institutions, doesn't it? I have no quarrel with any woman
following her own conscience in such matters (although I firmly believe
unrelated male opinion has no place in the controversy).


Why are you even bringing this discussion to rec.travel Europe?


Huh? I know you enjoy taking potshots at me, but it was not I who began
this thread!

Evelyn,
So what? They are just that...verbal attacks, nothing else...you don't
believe in freedom of speech unless it is something with which you agree ???
The law of Roe v. Wade has not been changed nor has the accessability of
women to the use of Planned Parenthood's facilities. I LIVE in a
conservative state!


So do I (unfortunately). I think you should pay a bit more attention to
legislation being passed without media fanfare - it is the limiting of
accessibility to which I am objecting! (So long as choice remains free,
freedom of discussion SHOULD be a protected right.)
