Much ado about nothing

I'm shocked.

If I walk into a liquor store and there is a section in one corner where everything is free, and I want a bottle of wine, I am not going to pick up the Jack Daniels just because it is free if I went in there for a bottle of wine. The HHS legislation says that INSURERS or the federal Obamacare system that people barely understand, can't charge the patient for preventative contraception-its free to them, even in Catholic hospitals perhaps. This has the Bishops' undies in a twist calling it a religious freedom assult. Are they kidding? Really? Whose freedom? The religious freedom of the patient at all factor into that? Shouldn't the Bishops be focused more on guiding the patient into right relationships or behaviors? Unless they want to own insurance companies that don't like having to eat their bottom lines on this point. Or maybe its that their biggest donors do because insurance companies have some of the most overfed highest compensated executives in the country. Are those people breathing down the Bishops' backs? Why on earth do Bishops want to prevent women from preventing unwanted pregnancies? This whooplah is going to woefully backfire because it sounds like nonsense to most American women and most of them are Protestant statistically anyway.
People are not trying to be recklessly permiscuous for the most part- they are trying to find lasting love. That is the prevailing impulse. Have a little faith in people.
