Contraception: The Truth Behind the Rest of the Story
2012 Republican presidential candidates and other RIGHT WING RELIGIOUS ZEALOTS OF CONVENIENCE are having a field day MISREPRESENTING President Obama’s announcement to protect women’s health by making sure ALL women have free access to contraception. Gingrich stated that the President’s administration has “declared war on the Catholic church and other religious organizations.” Romney said that the President is “forcing religious organizations to violate their conscience”. Other Right Wing “zealots” are so giddy that they are calling the President everything but a child of God! Here are the FACTS that the 2012 candidates and Right Wing Religious Zealots of Convenience DON’T want you to know:
1. Scientists and medical experts agree that contraception is important for women’s health. The fundamental belief behind the President’s decision is that women should have access to this care, without having to worry about costs.
2. Churches are exempt from the new rules.
3. Individual religious beliefs will be protected by the inclusion of the “conscience clause’, meaning no doctor will be forced to prescribe contraception.
4. More than 75 percent of Catholic women are actually behind the decision.
5. The decision will reduce employer costs as documented by The National Business Group finding that employers would pay 15-17 percent more not to provide contraception coverage.
Now you know THE TRUTH behind the rest of the story!
