Of possible interest to your list, ping.
The Left, as they’re wont to do, is desperately trying to destroy the true meaning of the word “right.” They want to bastardize the idea of “rights” to mean anything that someone might want to have.
A “right” is something that cannot be taken away. The fact that they have to go through the courts to try to codify this garbage is indicative of this not being a “right” in any way. It can be taken away.
If there’s supposedly a “right” to birth control, a “right” to choose (abortion), a “right” to marriage (other than a man and woman), then the 2nd Amendment should be a Right to keep and bear any kind of firearm anywhere in the USA.
And then dismantle the genuine rights outlined in the USC; the RKBA, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from illegal searches etc.
Once the process is complete you will find that we have no rights and that we have become, in fact, subjects of a tyranny that knows no bounds.
Sure.
diabetics have the right to free foot massages to promote blood flow, saving there feet.
High BP and heart patients have a right to free healthy food and a personal chef to cook it properly.
I have a right to be picked up in an armored car and delivered to work safely.
Sure, lets all make a wish list
The “poor” have every right to spend $10-15 a month of money confiscated from producers on birth control if they wish- nobody’s stopping them. Two packs of smokes less will be good for them!
Our Constitution and the rights it enumerates is not based on having a certain level of medical knowledge, nor does it impose rights to some at the expense of others. All the "rights" that the left demands does just the opposite.
Nyer,
Good Post. And I think an additional issue of the ‘right to birth control’ is the crusade of the environmental leftists. They are turning something good, protecting the environment into “worshiping the environment” and giving it dominion over humanity, as God created us.
I recommend this article for your reading and consideration: http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/dgreenfield/the-environmentalist-eugenics-of-the-left/
There is absolutely nothing blocking people from getting birth control. NOTHING This whole FUBAR situation is an argument that Sandra Fluck has to pay for her own birth control.
The way I see it, there’s a right to be able to buy and use birth control - but there’s no right to force me or anyone else to pay for it.
There is no “Right” to Birth control. The Lord in Genesis blesses the couple and instructs them to go forth and multiply.
He doesn’t say go forth and kill.
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.
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.
