Seperation between Church and State is as important today as it was when our fathers first put in the constitution.Let our minds and heart make free decisions.

While I am all for women’s reproductive rights and applaud this step in the right direction, I do not disapprove of the exemption for religious institutions. If the government makes a ruling forcing those private religious institutions to provide something their owners believe is morally wrong, that would violate the owners’ first amendment rights.

What is the best way to fight these unconstitutional laws? Is there a plan to work to overturn them?

Thank you for this article and for all the folks who support Planned Parenthood. As a social worker and as a woman, I can attest that I know at least a hundred women who have gotten the medical care that they need, such as annual pap screenings, STD testing, birth control and support from Planned Parenthood over the years. While the local Health Departments are great, it is true that many cannot access their services when needed, and Planned Parenthood’s services are an absolute necessity in our communities. Planned Parenthood PREVENTS abortions and saves us all millions of dollars by preventing unwanted pregnancies. It never ceases to stun me that members of the GOP and some religious organizations don’t support this. Keep on fighting the good fight!!! Thank You!!!

We are in a dark period of American politics. We can only hope that it ends soon and some of these legislative travesties can be reversed. When my patients raise these issues, I shake my head and say “Vote.”

What the GOP is doing in NC in regards to education and healthcare is disgusting. Thank you for keeping up and posting articles on this important issue.

It also baffles me that many of these Republicans despise people on welfare, but by cutting affordable and ready access to contraception, they are putting certain women who depend upon y’all in a position where they are more likely to have children they can’t afford and thus needing to look to public assistance for help raising them. I can’t imagine providing a month’s worth of birth control is more expensive than welfare.

Comment on A Note to Ruth by Donica McLean

It is you, Ruth Samuelson, who should be ashamed. Keep your ignorant biased rules off my body. If you want to reduce big government, stop trying to pass laws that do nothing but limit my rights as an adult human being. If you’re so against Obama’s health care plan because you are outraged that government would force people to get medical insurance, quit trying to force every woman who’s having an abortion to get an ultra-sound. Forced medical insurance? Try forced, unwanted, unneccesary medical care.
