When do you get your Nobel Prize for Economics? Please post a picture of it for us.
I must assume you're on Medicaid, since taxpayers don't pay for my medical insurance premiums.
I've opted to view ultrasound images; I've not had them forced on me by state legislatures.
Does your health care plan or your state provide you free condoms? Who makes you accept and use free condoms?
So, what's the medical point of this sonogram? What does it cost? Who pays for it?
You're a religious institution and want to exercise your conscience? If it's that important, it's probably worth giving up your tax-exempt status for. After all, aren't we supposed to render unto Caesar and all that?
Plus, I couldn't find anything in my Constitution about a guaranteed tax-free status, not in the First, nor any other Ammendment. Let the Catholic Church sell a Raphael or something.
I bet those skivvies are on your mind a lot there, gip. Probably almost gets you out of your Hoveround.
Do you have an enumerated Constitutional right to transfer an unlimited amount of property to your spouse without being subject to gift tax (or estate tax upon death)? Are you constitutionally guaranteed visitation rights to see your spouse in the hospital? The right to make emergency medical decisions on behalf of that spouse? To file a joint tax return and get a larger exemption? The right to refuse to testify against your spouse in a court of law? None of these rights are enumerated in the Constitution; are they conferred by the Catholic Church then? These rights (heck call them privileges if it makes you feel better) are benefits given by the state (generic use of the term) to recognized married couples. How about we take these rights (and all the others) away from everyone unless and until you enter into the proper contract within your jurisdiction? You can only enter into this agreement with one person at a time, and that person must be of legal age to enter into an enforceable contract. The churches, temples, mosques, etc., can do whatever they want, but it doesn't confer the civil rights that the state does. Problem solved?
Of course not! Do Catholics have the right to get married by a Rabbi in a temple?
