DETROIT (AP) — The founder of Domino's Pizza is suing the federal government over mandatory contraception coverage in the new health care law. Tom Monaghan, a devout Roman Catholic, says contraception is not health care and instead is a "gravely immoral" practice. He's a plaintiff in a lawsuit filed Friday in federal court, along with his Domino's Farms, which runs an office park near Ann Arbor. Monaghan offers health insurance that excludes contraception and abortion for employees.

I understand that in your (his) religion, sexual indiscresion is frowned upon.
I hereby state that in MY religion, we frown upon food/eating indiscresion.
therefore, I will agree to universal healthcare so long as it does not pay for all of the health concerns of the immoral fatsos.
(p.s. the WHOLE idea here is that healthcare is decided by DOCTORS, not religious whacks.)

matters of sexual health most certainly fall under the umbrella of "healthcare". I am not sure why you seem to think there is a slippery-slope here, or that it is a matter of personal interpretation ("choice"). is it not also the choice of the obese man to gobble down another cheeseburger?
its up to the doctor. not me. not you. not your employer. not the Catholic church.

Having sex is programmed into our DNA , it is how we survive as a species .
Why would you want millions of unplanned / unwanted children that will be a drain on every social resource ?

If you eat Domino's Pizza contraception should be mandatory .
It would help Darwin skim out the gene pool

I understand the dynamics of moral bigotry.
I understand the dynamics of the entitlement (oh my!) of every human to a minimum standard of healthcare.
I understand that said standard is not to be determined by dominoes-MF-pizza.
I understand that you wish to conflate the issue beyond rational discussion.

I do not need to look it up.
I already know that it means that you wish to declare relevant to the discussion, fallacious arguments which have no bearing.
are you always this rude? dinner didn't sit well? I have said all I intend to on the matter.

Your moral and religious rights end when they effect someone else. Mr. Dominos is all free and clear to do as his deity orders him in his own bedroom. Doesn't give him the right to dictate what happens in his employees bedroom.

And on the same grounds I guess the 7th DA's could claim that blood transfusions are not health care either - they are an immoral practice.
Tough.
Get over it.
