When the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) followed the Institute of Medicine’s recommendation to include contraception in a list of preventative health services for women under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Republicans in the House proposed a bill (HR 1179) called “Respect for Rights of Conscience Act of 2011.” The bill, introduced by Jeff Fortenberry (R-Neb), allows health care providers and pharmacists to deny birth control to women if it conflicts with their religious or moral convictions. The bill, with 44 co-sponsors, has not seen any action since its introduction in March, but now a similar bill has been introduced in the Senate by Roy Blunt (R-MO) that mirrors the House bill and so far it is co-sponsored by Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.). The bill is another back-door attempt at circumventing Roe v. Wade and takes the personhood amendments to their logical next step.

Apparently, the personhood amendments in 26 states that define a zygote as a human being are not severe enough for the forced birth crowd, so they have determined that the act of sexual intercourse is now a human being. The Catholic Church goes so far as to condemn coitus interruptus as sinful because it prevents insemination, thus preventing life from forming. It is a perverse control mechanism for any religion to dictate how and why a man and women engage in sexual intercourse, but for United States legislators to impose the Vatican’s prohibition on contraception is not acceptable. The bills’ sponsors had better have a child for every year they have been married or else they had abortions or used contraception; unless either partner were sterile. Since the bills’ authors have children, it is assumed they are not sterile and utilized some form of birth control.

There is nothing in the Constitution that gives the Vatican or the USCCB the authority to issue directives to legislators on the laws they author. There is also nothing whatsoever in the law that says every act of intercourse must result in a pregnancy; at least not in United States law. However, the Vatican has decided that every act of intercourse results in pregnancy and instead of only controlling adherents of the Catholic faith, the Church is now on a path to controlling American women. The House bill’s author, Jeff Fortenberry is a devout Roman Catholic who is 50 years old but only has 5 children instead of 25-30 depending on how long he has been married; assuming he has been intimate with his wife more than 5 times, they must have used some form of birth control.
The ongoing assault on a woman’s right to choose their reproductive health has escalated to this point and there is no end in sight. The Catholic Church funded the efforts to define a zygote as a human being, and now they are defining intercourse as a human being. At what point will these religious maniacs stop passing legislation based on the bible, or a specific church’s dogma? Apparently there is no stopping them, and one can only hope that a medical professional does not arrive on an accident scene where one of these religious zealot legislators is bleeding to death and choose to withhold aid because their moral or religious conviction restricts them from saving the life of an asshole. However, according to this bill, they can deny treatment for any reason and that is why it must never become law.
