I would love to live in a world where people were responsible and a small government, hands off, live and let live approach to social policy worked.

Dare to dream.

I'm in favor of providing contraception to women (and men, I hasten to add! both parties must be responsible!!) rather than welfare to mothers, or aborting babies, or running orphanages. (Or in other rarer cases putting women through painful menstruation cycles, or allowing ovarian cysts to grow.)

However, and I don't wish to divert the thread, but the reason I feel Limbaugh tried to make this an issue isn't really because of the contraception issue, but the religious issue. There are some who take the view, understandably, the proposals for contraception coverage run the risk of violating freedom of religion guarantees.

That to me is another issue worth discussing.
