Free birth control leads us down slippery slope

Rights are only rights if they cannot be taken away. Only God gives rights. The argument today is that women have a right to birth control for “free.” Was it a right before birth control pills existed? If so, then women can still use the method they used then. Was it a right when women paid for birth control themselves? If so, they can still pay for it themselves. Was it a right when government insisted that insurance include it in the package of procedures an organization must cover? Then people can still pay for it with a co-pay.

Now it is a right to get birth control for “free.” Why not just make it over-the-counter? There is no free lunch. Someone is paying for it and those on the free end don't care who that other person is.

This isn't the end. The goal is abortion for anyone, at any time, for “free.” You see, babies are the enemy to those who see power and control as their objective. Abortion is their sacrament on the altar of secular humanism. There is no God, only human wisdom.

Freedom of religion is in the First Amendment because it is that important.
