“No, you can’t deny women their basic rights and pretend it’s about your “religious freedom.” If you don’t like birth control, don’t use it. Religious freedom doesn’t mean you can force others to live by your own beliefs.”

President Barack Obama
(This statement couldn’t have been more perfect. It’s concise, straightforward, and more importantly, it’s to the point. This is how things should be…in theory. Religious freedom is the freedom to exercise one’s own beliefs without infringing on others’ unalienable rights. It’s quite simple in theory, yet it still hasn’t managed to work in practice. Oh well…I guess people need to be reminded more often than necessary. IF YOU DON’T WANT TO USE, DON’T USE IT. Birth control should be available to all…and if you choose to not use it, by all means DON’T. GAAAHHH…sometimes it’s extremely frustrating when the simplest things become unnecessarily complicated).
