Freedom of religion applies to the individual. If your religious beliefs dictate that contraceptives cannot be used, then you can't use them. Freedom of religion doesn't mean that you can force others to follow your religious beliefs. Selling contraceptives to the public is not a religious act, it is an act of Commerce, and it has been clearly established that the federal government has authority over commerce.

We had a Republican guy running for judge with the same last name as a prominent Democratic family active in politics. When he decided to run, he grew a beard, and I'm sure he did that to make people think he was a Democrat, because Republicans over a certain age, except for Grove Norquist, are always clean shaven.

He won and immediately shaved off the beard.

Yep, a fundie under every bed inspecting other people's sex lives is just what I imagine "feeedom" looks like.

The educational system is not at fault, here. Only right-wing religion can turn a brain surgeon into a complete moron on every topic outside brain surgery. Remember that.

I'm still not convinced Ben Caron is a brain surgeon. Gonna need to see some certification.
