Obama At Odds With The Church Over Mandatory Birth Control Political Policies
Barack Obama
The fairly new healthcare plan of U.S.
President Barack Obama has caused conflict and offense with the church.
Some Christians do not believe in mandatory birth control, which is a
dictate of President Obama's widely criticized healthcare plan. As I
Christian, I think ethical birth control pills that prevent pregnancy,
not abort the fruits thereof, are fine, as you are telling your body you
do not wish to get pregnant at this time (though, I should note I have
never used birth control).
However, I respect and understand the
decisions of Christians that do not use birth control, which is their
right. Like the majority of Christians, I do not believe in abortion and
do not support the idea of tax dollars being used for such purposes. The
government should be respectful of people's religious and personal
beliefs and not try to force decisions on the populace that offend their
ethics. Christians will not be inclined to vote for someone that does
so.
