If you are religious you most likely -- life begins at conception -- once and eggs -- that's a life created by god.
And if man ends that life that's murder.
So what does that say about Obama care.
The new health care law requires employers to pay for contraception for all their employees including.
The morning after pill so Obama -- forces employers who think abortion is murder took pay for what they think is murder.
And that's an assault on liberty system Carney at the Washington examiner.
No that's not the way to think about it says attorney camera holder so it's not why.
Well first of all employers -- forced to get their employees.
Birth control the in the health insurance plan is supposed to cover certain things and this is paid for through their preening and so let's see it's the insurance company.
It is giving health care to the employees obamacare requires employer to fall in the contraception.
Of their employees and that and you know that's an infringement on -- do you know how many people are actually in support of this idea or of of this bill.
That there are 70%.
A new poll just cannot have I'll accept that but I would -- still say.
So what if it's 90% -- the tyranny of the majority.
You see the problem if -- if you think it's murdering your being forced to enable it.
No you're not -- -- -- murder you are providing health care to your employee and that's it -- should not be in the workplace there's lots of people want to run a business and what they considers immoral way.
Brain that you don't get -- Sachs -- but it does not involve sex what somebody does.
Now -- we're gonna say you know what I'm not going to hire you or I'm gonna fire you because I heard that you have a boyfriend your having premarital sex -- percent floor and I believe that that's immoral.
It's just the employers should be forbidden for doing that this guy starts a company he has his principles whatever they are he doesn't get.
The right to say you stand in your head if I want you to or don't work here but this.
Is the law Obama care is a law and the law requires health insurance and who -- and -- -- he had.
You're comfortable with this big law making sure women get these services that.
Government is right to impose this on employers.
I believe -- if it is in prescription medication which birth control is.
And it should be provided by the employer really help them pay for prescription yes a woman lots -- the reason they present for that.
Watch that the -- because.
It's a prescription.
So I cover -- that's part of that's part of health care are prescription medication.
What I'm saying is is that if you wanna take -- condoms are not covered by health care by Obama care.
If you want to take -- -- -- debate.
All know they're never going to be you wanna take this out of -- -- put birth control pills right next condoms and I'll four and you won't happen problem.
What bothers me is that.
It's government telling everybody what to do what if the next government is a religious conservative government and they decree.
That no company can pay for contraception.
And they did this is part of the thing is that.
When people talk about a culture war in the United States.
-- it's always presented -- oh well you've got these religious conservatives trying to impose their morality.
But even the way the contraception mandate debate is presented no these bosses want to impose their morality but the people imposing their morality in America -- mostly.
I think are -- that cultural left I have to -- Planned Parenthood with my tax dollars if -- an employer have to pay for my employees.
Contraception and morning after pill and so it's becoming illegal to live.
As a conservative Christian as a conservative view as a conservative Muslim that's a culture war in American.
That but here's here's from trying to wrap my head around if -- a conservative percent.
Are you AD.
RU AE AE.
Fiscal liberal because unplanned pregnancy.
Costs twelve billion dollars a year this is this -- up by the Brookings institute twelve billion dollars -- are you saying OK well then.
No birth control because I'm moral moral conservative but you know it cost taxpayers all this money twelve billion year so I'm okay with that.
I'm -- I think this is an argument for I'm I'm a Catholic and I think it's an argument for a lot of my fellow Catholics and Christians and understand why governments should be getting into these -- in the first place because this is exactly the sort of the camel's nose under the -- Situation where once government is paying for health care that all the sudden.
Eight gives this in this excuse for government say well this is how did -- lord your life.
This -- prevent pregnancies you have to you can eat this don't -- you can't smoke this cigarette so this is an argument for anybody says I don't want government to infringe on my liberty.
This take another step back and -- maybe government shouldn't be playing a role in any of these aspects of our lives in the first birth control pills cost.
Ten dollars a month and Wal-Mart.
Why does -- have to be -- government -- Barbara Streisand could paper every poor woman's birth not from this is not about buying at ten dollars a month.
You're your birth control pill it's -- it's what got.
I you know like -- -- Viagra are OxyContin or any any kind of a prescription help help letter sent our hearts and -- nobody should be in.
The eighth our or anybody else -- I added I think it is under it obamacare they're paying for Viagra you know it's part of the prescription health plan this is these are things you -- can't say you know what.
I believe that you shouldn't take.
You shouldn't I if you're king late day.
-- they're not telling what you can and can't take they're saying why don't.
-- we're sitting there why shouldn't it's but I created this business why can't I say what drugs you take you don't like it don't work for me.
That's part of free don't I don't want you to take your your heart -- -- -- even -- you have congestive heart failure worker maybe you don't you don't design and not have a right worker -- that you don't have a right here.
Lawyers money but it's even a step back from that is saying is it.
Is this is not about whether employers are allowed to say.
You can't take any birth control at all this is another step further simply think.
What should the employer be forced to pay for and you are saying that you every right to that employers -- if you want to pay in cash instead of contraception.
That would be -- Until January for a dollar is this is through the health plan this is not the employer is not giving a person money -- saying here's ten dollar the employers being forced to pay for the health plan -- it -- -- -- -- -- employees pay their premiums remembered the they're paying for their -- their health -- well.
But the -- like me who do not want to pay for premiums that cover contraception because.
My wife and I were Catholic perhaps we have four kids we ever growing -- -- -- we don't want -- buy that you're making us pay for the plan that covers contraception for everybody.
That's that's -- external lighting up -- plants that and that if my employer wants to -- a plan that doesn't cover your contraception.
That should be up to the employer because you do not have a right to his money.
But I think it's an ignorant ignorant our argument to say that.
Contraception is only because you don't want to have a child there are plenty of people who take birth control because they have they have terrible cranberry.
So it fixed we're out of time here I say they should pay for themselves or Barbara Streisand can afford to protect all the women's -- Thank you Tim -- camera holder coming up mice.
