So in other words, unless their denomination of Christianity says homosexuality is ok, then you want them to keep their religious beliefs and practices to themselves.

makes sense, all contraception is free at the point of request here in England, condoms, coils, pills, implants, but we still have the highest teen birth rate i think in the EU, it would be a crisis if contraception wasn't given out by the state.

Okay, so that's great for residents of Wright County! So, here it is. I called. They use Tittle X funds, offer a clinic in which a woman can see a doctor, have a pap smear, breast exam, etc., and get a prescription for the Pill. It's open 4 times/days a year ,by appointment only and they charge on a sliding fee scale, based on your income.

So in other words, unless their denomination of Christianity says homosexuality is ok, then you want them to keep their religious beliefs and practices to themselves.

In other words, these people's blatant hypocrisy obviously nullifies anything pious and righteous they think they may be doing by alienating and shunning those who are or support LGBTQ people and their families. At the same time, they, Mike and Karen Pence, et al, are silent on the sins of the fornicator/adulterer in the Oval Office and his wife, the First Lady who famously did girl on girl porn for a living. While widely excusing these sins, they promote and support him and his lifestyle, thereby encouraging others to behave in a similar disrespectful and sinful manner toward women, family and community.

Bigotry, discrimination and intolerance are not religious beliefs or practices, they are human flaws. Sins, in other words.

In other words, the hypocrisy is astounding. Christians used the bible as an excuse to conquer lands and murder its indigenous people. It was Christains who challenged the Pope, and forced him to decree that indigenous people were not animals, and deserved an opportunity for salvation. It was Christians who decided slavery was "good" for the indigenous people, according to the Bible. It was Christians to challenged slavery their communities, encouraging Christians to see slaves as "equal but separate" human beings It was Christians who claimed God and the Bible endorsed segregation, and it was Christians who fought against segregation.

It was Christians who thought women couldn't vote. It was Christians to led the suffragette movement. It was Christians who made laws against birth control, and Christians that overturned those laws.

Now, it's Christians calling for cruel treatment and alienation of LGBTQ people, and its Christians calling for their equality.

This school, and Mike and Karen Pence are on the wrong side of history. God help us if I'm wrong, and we're actually heading to "Gilead"!

As to the health department: Yeah. 4 times per year. You get a 3 month supply when you go, so 4 X 3-month supply = 12 months of birth control. Sliding scale? I actually wasn't aware of that, because every single person I know who uses the HD clinic gets them for free. It still boils down to if you can't afford them you can get them for free, since that's how sliding scales work.

And for the rest: I get it. You hate Christians and Christianity. And I have no clue what "Gilead" is.

Anyhow, I quit. Gonna have to agree to disagree.

So women who work for employers that oppose their choice to use contraception just have one more cross to bear, their employer's cross.

I don't hate Christians. I hate hypocritic control freaks who dictate pious superiority, while "wrapped in a flag and holding a Bible in one and a cross in other", using religion as a weapon to oppress others.

Thank you for letting me state my opinion. I don't think there's any more to discuss here without devolving further into insult. I agree that we disagree.

all contraceptives are free at the point of requesting them here, even the morning after pill, and doctors will prescribe to minors without telling parents if the child says no. It is firefighting here in England to reduce the teen pregnancy rate. our population would explode without it.

Looks to me that you want to force your beliefs on others. And to make matters worse punish those who do not agree with you. You dont have to condone anyone's lifestyle or their choices. All that's required for them is to offer forgiveness. Something you do not seem to share.

So you hate the administrators of this DC school then, who are dictating to their students which religions they can play sports against? Right?

$37,000 per year in tuition alone, in D.C.
Crazy!
And they afford that how??
I think we all know.

The interesting thing is that this is EXACTLY what the Bible itself said would happen. It's really quite insane on its face, but from a faithful perspective it actually makes perfect sense..

I am sure it is going to get a lot more brutal for Christians. It does seem like we are on a fine line of what society is willing to accept when it comes to violence.

We have a Gov. that is ready to kill children outside of the womb or right up to the point of birth. The crazy thing is the left is defending the guy. The majority left silence on the issue is deafening..

The MAGA kid they tried to ruin is a great example of the blood lust the left has. They were actually calling for the kids murder.

I am waiting for the Gladiator's & Lions vs Christians coming to a stadium near you..
