Is There a “Right” to Birth Control? (what the administration really wants)

Genesis, chapter 2

 

21So the LORD God cast a deep sleep on the man, and while he was asleep, he took out one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh.^l

22The LORD God then built the rib that he had taken from the man into a woman. When he brought her to the man,

23the man said:

“This one, at last, is bone of my bones

and flesh of my flesh;

This one shall be called ‘woman,’

for out of man this one has been taken.”^*

24^m That is why a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, and the two of them become one body.^*

25The man and his wife were both naked, yet they felt no shame.^*

I say why not, everything is a right now a days.

I’d much rather you and others like you to get a freebie in place of having to pay for promiscuity and poor judgement.

take care of yourself, I’m right behind you with just about the same stuff.

Agree completely. No one has to pay in any way, shape, or form, for my rights as stated in the first 10 ammendments to the Constitution. They are part of “natural law”. By definition, if someone else has to give something up (like tax money) for me to have a “right”, then it isn’t one; it’s just a government-mandated tax.
Someone wants birth control pills? Go for it, just don’t make me pay for your list of “wants”.

The rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights, and subsequent amendments are the only “Rights” we have. Everything else is up to the legislative and executive branches to work out. It is the reason we have elections. Is their a right for birth control, no. Is their a right to prevent birth control, no also. In regards to Roe v Wade, the whole right to privacy angle is purely made up. There is no right to privacy in the Constitution. It is up to Congress and the President to decide one way or another for the whole country. And for state legislatures and governors to decide if Congress passes on the issue. It is up to us to vote for the right people.

You know, if Sandra Fluke wants me to pay for her right to birth control, it’s only fair that she pays for my right to own a gun.

Turnabout is fair play.

No “right” to a contraceptive because having sex is a choice.

Sure. It’s in the Constitution. Right next to the clauses about the right to sing the blues and the right to cable TV.

Right next to the clauses about the right to sing the blues and the right to cable TV.

Rich ... you may be right about singing the blues but, my friend, forget about cable tv. O has said that those who complain about the cost of his "Affordable Care Act", may have to change their priorities and give up cell phones and cable tv, to ensure they have proper health care.

How do satirists manage to remain one step ahead of reality these days?
