naamah_darling, I am aware that the Secretary of Health and Human services has a blog in which he defends the notion of reclassifying birth control as abortion. Which means, of course, that good Christians shouldn't have any truck with that.
I don't go to a steakhouse for a Hindu waiter to tell me that eating cow is abomination. I don't go to a hair salon for a Sikh stylist to tell me that cutting my hair is wrong. I don't go to a doctor (the one choice in this where, by the current rules in this land, my choice is extremely limited and not subject to the free market) to be told medical lies about birth control which will be withheld because their branch of Christianity trumps my rights to freedom from religion.
Which, by the way, according to this man has never happened. Funny how I can find daily reports of women denied abortions (even for a dead fetus) and birth control without even trying.
Naamah has the address if you want to write a letter to his office.
If your conscience won't let you fill the duties of a job to the fullest, then don't take the damn job. It's that simple.
