you do realize he's a comedian and will say or do anything to get heard?

Oh by the way, his show has been suspended until further notice. wonder what that's all about.

Wow....so something else people are being forced to do? What happened to land of the free?

The best way to refute what he's saying or what I'm saying is to make your case and stand your ground, but you can't just show up and say "Liberal agenda" or whatever it is you guys like to say without some kind of corroboration. After all, we're talking about the direction of our country and it's deadly serious.
on a another note, some are saying that this suspension has something to do with a tragedy of some kind involving the staff or on set but no one knows what it could be at this point.

So I thought the compromise meant that religous organizations wouldn't be forced to offer BC only the health insurance providers that cover them.

Seems like if you can't get your way completely it is an affront to the higher power.

I guess not having to worry about taxes, being able to bail out sexual predators, and all the other perks that organized religions enjoy isn't good enough to balance out their health insurance providers doling out BC to their employees.

Your right, that was the compromise President Obama offered but from what I understand now is that some religious organization is going to challenge that in court. So who knows, but I just find it ridiculous that were back in this contraception/abortion crap all over again, it was addressed in the 80's, I think, and here we are again.

The suspension is because Colbert's mother is gravely ill…...

If you put an economic factor into BC, you could easily make the case that for the insurance companies to offer BC for free to those working for religious organizations, is a cost effective way of not having to pay for an accidental pregnancy that cost thousands. In the case of the health issues that women take BC for, you could make the same case.
