If a woman chooses not to use birth control, or chooses not to have an abortion, that’s freedom.
If a man, whether a religious leader or a pandering politician, tells her what she’s able to do, that’s, well, it’s certainly not freedom.
These same religious leaders and politicians often talk about respecting women.
Respecting women isn’t telling them what to do “for their own good.” And hiding behind religion to deny contraceptive coverage is simply another way to perpetuate that abusive, illogical and antiquated notion.
