the Catholic Church and the HHS decision on birth control coverage for health care policy is getting hotter.

It's a tough call but I think I'm leaning with BO.
1. it's the church's tax exempt businesses NOT the Church itself. (big difference the GOP won't admit.)

2. There's a stir over co-pays or not - seems to me even if you have co-pay policies like that in 28 states already - the business is STILL paying for most of it.. Co-pay or not.

3. Isn't it a little absurd that a business can make up it's own rules on health care coverage... so if you work anywhere else you get free birth control or at least for a small co-pay fee in your health care coverage, but if you work for a Catholic owned institution, they won't cover it (even though 98% of Catholics admit using birth control). Again it's NOT the church per se, it their businesses. That's the key distinction for me.

4. If it'd solve the problem (I doubt it) set it like it is in the 28 states and let them require a $10 co-pay if it clears their conscience. But I don't think it'd change a thing (esp the GOP howls)

5. The other point of view is that it's a women's health care issue.. if you're female & Baptist and work for St Mary Hospital, you don't get birth control coverage ? WTF ?? Isn't THAT religious discrimination ?

Am I off-base? AM I missing something? or is this just an issue the GOP wants to jump on as a distraction to their miserable primary campaigns ?

I choose #5.

LOL, you're right !!!
