K Hates The Daily Campus, part 10

FUCK YOUR RELIGIOUS LIBERTIES, HEALTH CARE IS MORE IMPORTANT.

I'm really mad. Nicolas Tomboulides has been at it again, being always wrong. It really brings me to tears just how enragingly stupid someone can be.

So to start it off, this fuckwit doesn't understand why contraceptives and sterilization count as preventative health care. "Why is newly created life being considered a health problem requiring prevention?" he asks. Way to miss the point entirely. Let me explain it to your tiny, indoctrinated mind. Maybe there's a little room left that hasn't been filled with the hateful dogma of your fucked-up religion, but that may be hoping for too much. Between conception and birth, there's a long, drawn-out process called "pregnancy". Yes, that's right; life doesn't begin at conception, there's a nine-month wait in-between--well, actually it's more like ten months. During that time, the woman carrying the child is subject to a litany of pains and dire health risks, up to and including the risk of death. These are all severe health problems requiring prevention. Of course, I'm sure someone who has shown such amazing bigotry as Nic has doesn't really care about these risks--after all, they only apply to women.

He also thinks Plan B induces abortion, which is simply not true. Plan B prevents ovulation, which stops pregnancy from happening in the first place. Why is The Daily Campus allowing such heinously dishonest misinformation to continue being perpetuated?

He refers to the objections of the Roman Catholic Church as "real and principled". Well the objections are there, sure, but since when is "hatred of women" a principle? He backs it up with "natural law"--sorry Nic, but the so-called 'ethics' of natural law are better known as the Natural Fallacy, and it's the same logic Hitler used to justify the extermination of "lesser races". He goes on to say that "the Obama regime is disrespecting the fundamental right of religious liberty" by "imposing on the church a forced purchase of services it deems incompatible with God's wishes". But the Catholic Church has no way of knowing for certain what "God's wishes" are, or if a god even exists in the first place. All of Church doctrine is not a matter of taking orders given by a celestial being; rather it is merely a tradition passed down since long before people had the knowledge and technology to truly understand the world around them. When doctrines originating from sexist tribes demand that women be forced to go through with pregnancy, we should find it suspicious and doubt it, rather than accept it unquestioningly and subjugate women.

Nicolas supports his argument with the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law..prohibiting the free exercise of religion." But there already are laws prohibiting the free exercise of religion. There are passages from the Bible that say "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" but killing a practitioner of Wicca is illegal. So obviously it's okay to prohibit the free exercise of religion when it would impede on another's rights, and that is exactly what is being done here.
