Birth-Control Hearing Was ‘Like Stepping Into a Time Machine’

41. Why are they acting as though the 'clergy' should make women's choices?

I do not believe in religion making my choices. I have not been a member of a church in over forty years and do not want religious believers making choices for me or any women who does not follow religious precepts.

The religious fanatics in the GOP have tried to frame this as an assault on religious freedoms. Does that not include the right of those of us who do not follow a religion to make our own choices? Isn't is just as much an assault on the personal religious (or non-religious) choices if religious organizations can control the options even for those who don't believe as they do?

If as a non-believer I get a job for an business that happens to have an affiliation with a religious organization, why should the religious organization that I do not work for be allowed to dictate my health care choices?
