My last blog post generated this comment: “As I understand it, the government is now telling Catholics how to practice their faith regarding birth control.”  Here is my reply:

 There is no law that tells Catholics or anyone else how to practice their faith.  Contraceptives are legal in the United States but the law does not require you to use them.  Ironically, polls show that over 90 per cent of Catholic women do use them. However, if Congress passed a law prohibiting contraceptives, it would be doing so based on Catholic principles, thereby imposing a religious doctrine on the entire American public. Believe whatever you want but don’t force legislation that imposes your beliefs on me.  You may be referring to the health insurance issue on contraceptive coverage which, I believe, did ultimately exempt Catholic organizations.  The absurdity of all this is that government is getting involved in the legality of contraceptives at all.  It is a woman’s health and personal choice issue and the Catholic Church has no business trying to make its doctrine become American law.

Do we not have enough religious zealots in the world trying to 'tell' women what to do?
