Oh sorry for not wanting to give up the rest of my life because of an some random birth defect. I mean yeah screw anything the parents ever had planned. They should totally just work and slave and devote every cent to a child that might not even have a functioning enough brain to realize what people are giving up for it. Im sure someone out their would love to raise that child. It isn't me though.

once one reads the report though its not talking about abortion but rather only in cases where the quality of life would be so bad due to deformities and neurological defects that having the child live would be no more than an unnecessary burden. Im not going to lie maybe Im coldhearted but I wouldnt want to have a kid only to find out when its born that the majority of my future finances and life are going to be devoted to treating it for a mental defect that renders it incapable of any real kind of life. Would I kill it? No, but I certainly wouldnt keep it.

Thank you for blurting that out for everyone.

Saved us the trouble of saying it.

By the way, in the scripture, the people with hard hearts are never God's people... people with hard hearts are always, and clearly, identified as God's enemies.

You should be thankful that Jesus gave up His comforts, just for some random birth defects (called sin) in you. Yeah why He suffered and died for an ingrate as you, who can't figure out sacrificial love is beyond me. Well, it's a good thing He didn't leave you on someone else's doorstep to cover for your sin.

I would be interested to find out whether the insurance these companies offer is insurance levied against their own profits or whether the insurance is provided by a third party. It is, in my eyes, the right of any employee in any company to be able to acquire for himself or herself insurance which is comprehensive and covers all possible medical eventualities.

An employee should be able to choose the extent of their coverage without interference from the employer. Refusing employees a right to full coverage is in itself morally wrong, but specific to this context, if a church refuses full coverage, the shortfall of which is coverage for abortion by virtue that it is a sin, then surely coverage for a premarital pregnancy and birthing should also be disallowed.

It's so alien to me because here we have free healthcare that covers all non-cosmetic eventualities, and some necessary cosmetic ones. It would be outrageous for an employer to suddenly dictate what medical coverages any employee can or cannot have or pay for. Employers here have absolutely no part in that.
