THE PROPHETS of the OT and JESUS TEACHINGS HAVE HARSH WORDS FOR THE RICH WHO GROW RICHER WHILE THE POOR SUFFER. THE GROWING GAP BETWEEN THE 1% & the 99% over the last 30 yrs. has become BIBLICALLY BLASPHEMOUS. “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.” CAESAR=FAIR TAXES; GOD=TAKING CARE OF ALL PEOPLE, THE ENVIRONMENT, POLLUTION, etc. IS SANTORUM AGAINST THIS?-mackie
  
Mr. Santorum should be careful in his efforts to score political points using biblical mandates on the same week that he shows such callousness towards the lives of the poor.

5 CRITICAL REASONS FOR LOW COST CONTRACEPTION COVERAGE..

Posted on by
ARE THE REPUBLICANS TRYING TO TAKE US BACK TO COAT HANGERS? HERE THEY GO WITH THESE MEN TRYING TO CONTROL WOMEN’S BODIES. NOW MOST WOMEN HAVE TO WORK OUT SIDE THE HOME. WHAT IF THEY DON’T WANT OR CAN AFFORD ANOTHER CHILD? WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF SHE LOSES WHO JOB BECAUSE SHE BECOMES PREGNANT? HOW IS THAT GOING TO AFFECT HER FAMILY AND THERE INCOME? Below are a view highlights, etc. There is so much more you need to know.
 
THEY’RE EVEN TRYING TO SET IT UP WHERE THE EMPLOYER WILL DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT THEY SHOULD HELP…….
 
 
2) Contraception has numerous health benefits. A Harvard Medical School study found that oral contraceptives reduced the risk of ovarian cancer by 10 to 12 percent during the first year of use and by about 50 percent after five years of use. It also prevents significant health risks to women and infants by allowing women and couples to achieve healthy birth intervals and prevent unintended pregnancy. Having too short a gap between pregnancies has been linked to negative health outcomes, like low birth weight, preterm birth, and small size for gestational age. Unintended pregnancy is also linked to several negative outcomes for women and children’s health, including delayed attainment of prenatal care, economic hardships, and relationship problems. Publicly funded contraceptive services have decreased unintended pregnancy among health center clients by as much as 78 percent, studies show.
 
AND
 
5) It’s about more than birth control. As important as contraception is, the preventive care regulation is about more than access to birth control. It covers a wide range of services specific to women’s health, including cancer screening with Pap smears, HPV DNA testing, mammograms, and colonoscopies; domestic violence screening and counseling; and breastfeeding supports, among others. It also insures services like immunizations, dietary counseling, and cholesterol and blood pressure screening, to name only a few, to 54 million men, women, and children.
