The Supremes tackle birth control

If a woman wants to have eleventy billion abortions then so be it. Someone so irresponsible to avoid using birth control and other methods of contraception would most definitely fail to be a good parent.
But that isn't the argument. The argument the pro-life side maintains is that life is sacred no matter what yet I can't help but scream HYPOCRISY when these are the same people riding the death penalty for adults. Is life not sacred then? Should we not help our wayward kin when they rape, pillage and murder? Naw, *** 'em. Electrocute them until they ***themselves and still fail to die.
Further, if abortions are the issue why not back comprehensive birth control methods and education? Nope, cause its all about controlling SEX period as all religions seek to do. The babies distraction is just a small data point towards the goal of making sex taboo once more.
Go to the Middle East if you want that life. I like my freedoms, you should too.
The reason the death penalty even exists is because of an ancient (Was it Roman or Greek?) Eye for an Eye. Yes if you kill someone or more than just one person, what the *** do you think is going to happen?

So now we're arguing appeal to emotion and moral superiority and denying scientific facts, got it, par for the course.
Also the adoption myth, gotta love when that one gets tossed around.
Sorry. I don't know how to make it palatable to them anymore. Time and time again, they keep outing a level of sheer ignorance and/or apathy to, what should be, a very basic understanding of male/female symbiosis.

It's actually a biblical quote. Exodus 21:24 and Matthew 5:38.

I think people have quite a few misconceptions about the adoption process as well... I remember being told in elementary school that they went in with tongs and broke apart the baby... I'm glad they took a less biased approach in high school.
If put up for adoption the baby can find foster parents who actually want a child but probably cannot have one. In a perfect world maybe, but aren't orphanages already overflowing to begin with? Just like pets, just because they are up for adoption doesn't mean they get a happy ending in the end.
The ugly truth is that abortions will happen, it's not a new thing to the last century or two. It can happen in a medically supervised environment or it can happen with a coat hanger. I like to think the first option is preferable.

they're just so beautiful,
yeah, but sometimes they turn out to be me...
and it makes you rethink the whole thing...
Yeah but how is anyone supposed to know how a little baby is going to turn out evil?
I you ever met me you would wonder why anyone would even take that chance...

Babylon... Mr. Hammurabi I believe aided in the establishment of the eye for an ey theme... I don't really understand your premise that it only exists because of a previous development of eye for an eye... are you saying because of this we should follow that code? Should we start chopping off theives hands?
There may be an origin of where the idea first started but it certainly doesn't mean that we have to adopt it ourselves or resort to such barbaric tactics...

Most babies don't survive adoption. It is a sad state of affairs.

The adoption system is a clusterfuck and to make it simple to adopt a child would open the floodgates for abuse. People serious about adoption find it easier to go overseas rather than the red tape here in the states. The third world has children in abundance looking to be adopted en masse. Or just pay someone to carry the child for you. I guess that'd be shirking responsibility too? It doesn't count unless you gestate the baby!
Further, the baggage and stigma associated with adoption make it very undesirable both on a personal and legal level. Having the biological parents show up 10 years down the road trying to take your child back (its yours, you raised them. period.) and the stressful situation this puts both adopted parent / child isn't worth the hassle for most. Or the fear your child will reject the adoptive parents (currently a situation in my family) and go rogue. Or the social stigma of being an adoptive parent.
Better to just spawn your own overlord/s.
Further even with adoption overhauls the same people whining about sacred life would take the argument to anyone not in their 'clan' adopting children. See: atheists, LBGT, interracial parents, old people etc etc. Bottom line is ideological warfare guised behind the face of infants.

I'll give that it's archaic, but it's also not logical based upon our other supposed standards of justice, and definitely has no place in a civil society.

And pivoting back to my main objection here.
Quote: Hobby Lobby's attorneys argue that the law violates the company's constitutional right to religious freedom by forcing it to cover all forms of birth control or pay steep fines. The company's owners are morally opposed to intrauterine devices and emergency contraception, believing it to be a form of abortion, though medical studies have debunked that claim. Its that believing part....

I am talking theology in that post, no specific war was mentioned.

Sorry, but there isn't specific a war mentioned in anything you quoted.
Do you understand that the generalized comment that was being made was about the hypocrisy with people that use religion as a reason to be anti-abortion yet also use it to be pro-death penalty and pro-war?
The book of Exodus is one the books in the Bible that is rife with these hypocritical stances.

It's kind of like when people start a sentence with, "With all due respect,..."; you know you're about to be disrespected.
or end a super offensive statement with "no offense"
makes me pee myself laughing every time. The one that really twists my nipples is when people say IMO. Of course it's your *** opinion. Your name is right there next to it.

Court majority harshly critical of Obamacare contraception mandate - CNN
Quote: The court is reviewing provisions of the Affordable Care Act requiring for-profit employers of a certain size to offer insurance benefits for birth control and other reproductive health services without a co-pay.
At issue is whether certain companies can refuse to do so on the sincere claim it would violate their owners' long-established personal beliefs. The problem as I see it. like many religious beliefs this one is something demonstrably false. They believe the IUD and morning after pills are abortifacants. They are not. But it IS a sincere religious belief.
For balance....
