On
25th of March the Supreme Court of our country will hear the Hobby
Lobby case. It is pertaining to Affordable Care Act (Obama Care) mandate that
forces businesses to pay for abortion-causing drugs, sterilizations, and
contraception for the employees regardless of religious beliefs.
I
honestly (from personal experience) have come to find out that the Affordable
Care Act is anything but affordable. Best my memory serves most insurance will
pay for a termination of pregnancy if medically necessary. They also will do the
same for sterilizations for women as well as contraceptives. I feel though that
abortion causing drugs and an abortion period for the hell of it shouldn’t be
covered because that is an elective procedure similar to a face lift or tummy
tuck. Note that I didn’t use breast implants because reconstructive surgery
after mastectomy is an important issue. I also do not think it is important for
medical insurance to pay for penis pumps just for fun.
I
have to question whether or not this violates religious beliefs of the
individual and not a company. How would you feel if a “company” made a decision
for you about your body? I don’t necessarily agree with the “forced” situation.
I understand where the owners are coming from. They are a large privately owned
company and they are having financial problems. Would this forced insurance
stipulation cause more burdens on the company?
Also
keep in mind, that there are many people in the US that shouldn’t be parents
and many people in the US that should be sterilized—bottom line, not everyone
should be parents. I am not abdicating abortion by any means unless it is
medically and psychologically necessary. Elective sterilization by men and
women is a personal choice.
The
Affordable Care Act imposed on the people is just that “imposed.” Hilary
Clinton’s national health care was a far better system than this. This Act has
caused more problems, and it reminds me of King passing a regulation just
because he has the authority to do so. It is also a classic example of a
society that was too afraid to speak up before hand and a legislative group
that has lost their powers to govern.
My
personal opinion on all of this: remove the president by public insistence and
replace our legislature. Surely there is a violation of some type that has
already been made by our president. I voted for him, but I am reaping the
mistake in doing so. My son and daughter are paying for my mistake. Then again, what choices were there? There were no candidates that would be considered
suitable for office.
I
am not suggesting doing this because I am a stickler for following the laws of
the land; but, I wonder what would happen if the masses of the people cancelled
their Affordable Care Act insurance in protest?
Would it send a clear message?
I
pray every day that for changes. I pray that the future will be held in God’s
hands.
Keep
each other in prayer.
“One
thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of
the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to
seek him in his temple.” (Psalms 27:4)
God
bless you all and keep you safely in His arms.
