Catholic college faces lawsuit over contraceptives - Washington Times

  • The president of a small Catholic college said Friday he would rather close the school's doors than violate the church's teachings on contraception should the college lose the latest battle involving health-insurance laws and religious freedom.

  • The federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has determined that Belmont Abbey College violated discrimination laws because the school's employee health insurance plan does not cover contraception, according to a letter the EEOC sent to the school.


    "I hope it would never get this far," college President William K. Thierfelder told The Washington Times, "but if it came down to it we would close the college before we ever provided that."

  • In a country where 12-hour workdays are common, the electronics giant has taken to letting its employees leave early twice a week for a rather unusual reason: to encourage them to have more babies.

    Japan is in the midst of an unprecedented recession, so corporations are being asked to work toward fixing another major problem: the country's low birthrate. Tell us what you think

    At 1.34, the birthrate is well below the 2.0 needed to maintain Japan's population, according to the country's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.

  • Think of it! Every baby is born a consumer: milk, wipes, diapers, clothing, toys---- and becomes a producer and a tax-payer. Where would our economy be today if had the 40 Million+ babies that have been aborted.

    Hats off to Japan!

  • The revelation came during an exchange Sunday morning on ABC's THIS WEEK.



    STEPHANOPOULOS: Hundreds of millions of dollars to expand family planning services. How is that stimulus?



    PELOSI: Well, the family planning services reduce cost. They reduce cost. The states are in terrible fiscal budget crises now and part of what we do for children's health, education and some of those elements are to help the states meet their financial needs. One of those - one of the initiatives you mentioned, the contraception, will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government.


    STEPHANOPOULOS: So no apologies for that?



    PELOSI: No apologies. No. we have to deal with the consequences of the downturn in our economy.

Danielle Bean

Danielle Bean writes an excellent article on what it means to be open to new life, even if life right now isn't perfect! She also brings up a good point about what a humbling experience it is to need assistance. I don't think many people understand that the trade off for any type of any type of assistance is a loss of privacy, particularly financial privacy.

  • It is not selfish for a poor mother of many to remain open to life. It’s heroic.


    A woman who places her trust in God and accepts new life under less than ideal circumstances is being as generous to God, to her family, and to her community as she possibly can be.

  • Only someone who has never needed financial help could possibly think that anyone takes government assistance because it’s fun or because they’re lazy. People take government assistance because, for whatever reason, THEY NEED IT. They would LOVE to not need it. It’s embarrassing and humbling. It’s not selfish.
