What's important to women voters, birth control or the economy?
I have to totally agree with Susan Reimer's assertion that Democrats must be living in a lovely dream waiting for the November elections ("Women will remember in November," March 12). True, some Republican presidential hopefuls have come down with foot in...Tags: Democratic Party, Health Treatments, Family Planning, Timonium, Barack Obama

An argument against granting tax-exempt status to religious organizations
So now the Republicans want to turn the debate over requiring insurance companies to cover contraceptives into a debate about religious freedom? They argue no one should be forced to support (with their tax dollars) activities that conflict with their...Tags: Health Treatments, Republican Party, Insurance, Religious Conflicts, Health Insurance Cost

It's about birth control, not religious freedom
As a woman and a life long Roman Catholic, I would like to comment on the recent debate between U.S. bishops and the federal government on requiring birth control insurance coverage for employees of Catholic institutions. Despite what Republican...Tags: Roman Catholicism, Health Treatments, Family Planning, Christianity

Contraceptive is not a bad word, even though GOP candidates tell you otherwise
I remember back in the day when conversations about sex were whispered and babies were born by immaculate conception. All three of my children were. Just ask my mother. But actually I was a lucky ducky, and when I asked her where babies came from, she...Tags: Health Treatments, Mexico, Abortion, Pregnancy and Childbirth, Washington, DC

Who's right about church and state, Kennedy or Santorum?
Much has been written and said recently about the First Amendment and freedom of religion in the context of the current political atmosphere. Many of the most provocative comments have been about contraception, abortion rights and health insurance. Some...Tags: Justice System, Family Planning, John F. Kennedy, Clarence Thomas, Employment Opportunities

Contraceptives: The issue is religious liberty, not birth control
Regarding Susan Reimer's recent column: It's sad to say but , yes, women will remember ("Women will remember in November," March 12). Even more sad is that women have reacted to a disguised cause.
Women's health is not the real issue here. Why did...Tags: Health Treatments, Roman Catholicism, Insurance, Christianity

Contraceptive debate isn't about birth control, it's about religious freedom
Susan Reimer's moral indignation regarding the dearth of women's responses to the political furor over birth control is misplaced ("In birth control debate, where are the women's voices?" Feb. 16). Women are not speaking out because birth control...Tags: Health Treatments, Family Planning, Civil Rights, Barack Obama

In the debate over contraceptives, women must speak up for their rights
Kudos for Susan Reimer's excellent commentary on the availability of contraceptives for women ("In birth control debate, where are the women's voices?" Feb. 16). It amazes me that those who would be least affected — or not affected at all —...Tags: Health Treatments, Feminism, Ellicott City

There is no constitutional 'right' to birth control
In response to Max Romano's commentary regarding the "right" to birth control, to which constitutional right does he refer? I searched my copy of the Constitution and could find no reference to any such right ("The right to birth control," Feb. 15)....Tags: Health Treatments, Family Planning

Insurance companies will profit by offering free contraceptives
It's obvious that insurance companies will put the cost of contraceptives into the premiums that everyone pays. However, premiums will still be lower than if they did not give out "free" contraceptives. For an insurance company, it's got to be cheaper to...Tags: Companies and Corporations, Health Treatments, Insurance

Rachel Maddow and my lesson in civility
When one writes about moral convictions, it's probably a good idea to consistently live up to them. That way people can still disagree with your convictions, but they have a difficult time accusing you of hypocrisy.
Last week at the Conservative...Tags: USA Today, Health Treatments, Thomas Jefferson, Rachel Maddow, Family Planning

Obama's 'accommodation' on birth control is all smoke and mirrors
The Sun's article on Catholic bishops' opposition to the Obama administration's requirement that religious schools and hospitals include contraceptives in their health insurance plans was one-sided and unfair ("Obama's 'accommodation' wins support in...Tags: Companies and Corporations, Health Treatments, Insurance, Barack Obama
