Kudos to Crisis Mag | National Catholic Reporter

Kudos to Crisis Mag | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: Crisis published an article about contraception coverage that largely agrees with MSW's position - so he largely agrees with the article.  This means that I do not because contracepton is not necessarily wrong unless it is eugenic or as a means to not address social justice issues like family pay. Indeed, if the Church addressed the latter issue, none of its employees would use contraception except for health reasons - which is no employer's business.  Indeed, the real issues are the religious freedom rights of the group versus the individual (Jan Brewer just vetoed that proposition in Arizona).  Gone should be the days when employers can meddle in employee personal (and yes, religious) decisions.  Now that health care is largely a matter of public policy - especially insurance coverage - not providing contraceptive coverage would be equivalent of reversing Griswold v. Connecticut by an end around, and thus eliminating privacy rights in all things - including non-discrimination of gays.  The Church wold like this but I will not stand for it.
