Do you agree with the Hobby Lobby Supreme Court decision?

If you wanna have an abortion, go ahead. I shouldn't have to pay for it. Besides if people was to learn about the origins of abortion, they would think twice about them

SSG (Join to see) , no doubt. The sad truth though is you can show people facts but you can't make them accept it or think rationally.

Yes I do agree with the decision the supreme court made on the Hobby Lobby case.

I agree 100% SSG Andres Redondo.

@MAJ Lupold, major uber thumbs up for that comment. Very well stated using scientific facts. Sadly, many will still dispute science even when it disproves their own methods.

I am not misusing, or disputing the science. Major Lupold, unlike you, I will not rush to judgement and make a rash and unprofessional statement regarding my discussion. Frankly as a PA I am surprised that you were not able to extrapulate my intention for using the articles to sustantiate my argument that people need to get the facts before rushing to judgement in assuming that the morning after pills are 1) abortive in nature 2) Prescribed for abortive effects 3) assume the mechanism of action is abortive in nature. None of the 3 points could be farther from the truth. I have attached link to a document that includes the RP thread between myself and Maj Ballinger to include inserted facts disputing his assumptions. My professional belief is that all patients, male and female need to be fully informed and educated prior to taking prescribed medications. It is not my position to debate prolife vs abortion, but to ensure that my patients make educated decisions. I will make a correction and Give Major Lupold his props. Yes I was incorrect in stating that ECPs do not affect a fertilized egg. However can ECPs cause the death of a fertilized egg? The mechanism of action article states : "Based on their studies on human and animals, some are tempted to conclude that there is no postfertilization effect [25]. It is unlikely that this question can ever be unequivocally answered, and we therefore cannot conclude that ECPs never prevent pregnancy after fertilization. Even if there were an accurate test for fertilization, a finding that some fertilized eggs do not implant after ECPs are taken would not mean that ECPs can work after fertilization, since many if not most fertilized eggs naturally do not implant. Nevertheless, even if in some cases ECPs work by inhibiting implantation of a fertilized egg, these probably would be outnumbered by other cases where fertilization of an egg that would not have implanted naturally is prevented because ECPs inhibited ovulation. Therefore, on balance, ECPs probably reduce the incidence of fertilized eggs that do not implant. ECPs do not interrupt an established pregnancy, defined by medical authorities such as the United States Food and Drug Administration/National Institutes of Health [26] and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists [27] as beginning with implantation. Therefore, ECPs are not abortifacient." Major Lupold, read the whole passage and the whole article in its entirety. Lastly, I have attached a link to the detailed word document including Major B's and my discussion with the included facts for my statements.

MAJ Carl Ballinger as I indicated previously, I made an incorrect statement. But thanks again for reminding me in your response. I was not condescending, nor am I seeking methodical credit, nor do I care about getting credit. In fact you also made incorrect statements such as "It is impossible to take a pill AFTER sex and the mechanism being to prevent ovulation." Not sure if you read document associated with our debate, but I did include the facts for my statements. Neither of us work for Hobby Lobby and thus should not attempt to justify an assumption behind their actions. The bottom line is not religion, insurance, or company decisions. The primary concern for me as the provider is the patient's ability to make an educated decision about their choices, and available treatments; then allow them to make their own decisions. Lastly, this is a great debate that demonstrates we all have our own opinions on controversial topics, and I respect that.

Yes I do agree with the decision !

Does the government owe you a computer so you can exercise your right to free speech?

MAJ (Join to see) , yes, they do. And they need to provide internet access, and Direct TV, and cell phone usage.

Disclaimer: Sarcasm above. :D

Agree with the cartoon illustration !

PO1 (Join to see) , your last sentence sums up my thoughts, as well as many others, perfectly.

MAJ Carl Ballinger , an excellent question that I wish everyone could be honest about and answer.

Yes I do agree with the decision.

I agree with the decision.

It's left out because the "other side" desires to deceive without putting out all the facts. It defeats their argument.

An all too common tactic enabled by a slanted and willing media.
