Freedom for ALL
Question from Dieter on 4/23/2012:

Judie,

I uderstand your opposition to birth control and the insurence companies/employers having to provide for it. But, What about the RIGHTS on NONCATHOLICS who WANT the OPTION of birth control but it is restricted by the employer, or the pharmacist who will not sell it because of their moral objections. Catholics have a right to RELIGIOUS AND MORAL Freedoms but what about the Non Catholic's Freedom to Choose and their Religious Freedom. Not every one is a Catholic, Every Christian does not oppose condoms, Novastat, or the Birth Control Pill. And that does not mean they are immoral people. I am not Catholic, I want the Freedom to choose, I am Christian (Protestant) I deserve FREEDOM TO CHOOSE BIRTH CONTROL as Catholics have to Choose against it. But do not impose your theology/morality dictating what I can or can not do!

I do not mean to "yell" The caps are to prove a point--Freedom For ALL not just one group.

What is the answer to this question?

Gruess Gott,

Dieter

Answer by Judie Brown on 4/28/2012:

Dear Dieter

You already have the freedom to make the choices that you wish to make, but your freedom cannot impede the rights of those whose conscience is violated by providing contraceptives. There are plenty of places where contraceptives, sterilizations and abortions are provided that are not Catholic.

Freedom for ALL should mean that one group of free people cannot destroy the freedom of another.
