Christian radio broadcaster James Dobson has won a temporary injunction preventing the federal government from requiring his ministry to include the morning-after pill and other emergency contraception in its health insurance.
A federal judge in Denver issued the injunction.
Dobson sued in December, saying the Affordable Care Act mandate to provide the contraception violates the religious beliefs of his Colorado Springs-based ministry, called Family Talk.
Good news for employees of Dobson's Family Talk radio show with a uterus. You no longer have to struggle with that painful decision of what to do in the case of an unplanned pregnancy.
James Dobson has made that decision for you.
You have to keep it, and of course if you terminate it using your own money, then it is very likely, considering Dobson's draconian views on abortion, that you will lose not only a potential child, but also a very real job.
Isn't religion great?
Hey, Jesse, I just wanted to say thanks that I know anytime I come back to your site, there is always something new and interesting there to read. A lot of other sites don't do that, but it's always fun to see what you're posting.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter! (The Bunny, Peeps and Easter Egg one, of course.)
Peeps! Peeps, Peeps, Peeps!
Delete"Hey, Jesse,"
DeleteIf thats even his real name, which Im about 86% sure it is not....
Focus on the Hypocrisy
ReplyDeleteRandom, but does anyone find it funny that the people who post things like, "kids don't remember their best day of television," are the people who regularly post things like that, way more than they post about actual adventures?
ReplyDeleteIt's like the person who spends hours planning each special moment of their future kids lives and no time finding Mr/Mrs Right and going out and living their lives.
Fits right in with people who spend all day on blogs trashing and slandering people they don't know when those people they're victimizing are actually enjoying the world and doing good things.
I guess you "fit right in with people who spend all day on blogs trashing and slandering people...." Hahahah!
DeleteWishing Gryphen and everyone else (except the troll, of course) a Happy Easter.
At anon @12:31 - you crack me up...you should be "enjoying the world and doing good things" like stop reading here because it's obvious it upsets you.
You are all over the place today. Call the pharmacy and see if your prescription is ready.
DeleteProtip: I f you feel the urge to criticize people for spending time on the internet and how they spend their time on the internet, you should restrain yourself to making only one such comment. Otherwise, it appears that you are talking to yourself.
are you high? if not you might try it, you may make sense then.
Delete12:31, what in the world are you even talking about?

Dr Frankenstein raises his hands in the air as currents of electricity zap up old rabbit ear antennae and screams "IT's A:LIV E!!!!! IT's ALIVE" !!!!!!!
DeleteNot only will Dobson force you to have the child, but he will be more than happy to instruct you how to punish it.
ReplyDeleteDidn't he write a parenting manual that teaches parents how to beat the crap out of their kids?
He did. I have a nephew who was Willful" and my husband's mother and the kids' mom both swore by his "the Strong Willed Child." That child is now in his 30's, spent his school years in church schools, and is an attorney in his dad's firm doing wills and divorces. He has never had a girlfriend.
DeleteOT, but The Ten Commandments just made its yearly appearance. Did you know that The Bible is not a source for this movie? In the opening credits, three books are listed. None is the Bible. And the RW was in dismay over Noah.
Didn't those ancient Egyptians have amazing teeth? They must've found that "one day dental" doc. And how come the Yul Brynner character couldn't afford a shirt?
DeleteThey did not wear shirts back then. Just look at the ancient wall murals and you can see that pretty easily.
DeleteBesides why hide all that gorgeous male beauty behind a fucking shirt? Yul rocked those costumes like a pro.
Don't judge people because they sin different than you.
ReplyDeleteIf Dobson had it his way, he'd stone every woman who has ever had (or is planning to have) an abortion. In fact, he'd hand the first rock to the male party responsible.
ReplyDeleteGood point! Something the religious right patriarchy doesn't recognize: their responsibility. They're too busy hiding the pedophile or being the pedophile to accept responsibility. In their lexicon, responsibility is for bashing their construct of 'others.' Women, children, other than white males ... the Dobson's of the world live in a fear based, selfish and earth annihilating world of crazy. Woman aborts a fetus for the sake of sparing a child suffering a debilitating disease with assured death, that's a sin in Dobson's mind. That Bush2 & Co annihilated millions on a lie, no problem for Dobson.
Deleteand yet he can't control his own son...
DeleteAin't religion grand, when Doofi like Dobson confuse the separation of church and state, the 1st amendment and any references to his bible to establish himself as a petty despot.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, a Kansas GOP House rep is reporting millions of Obamacare dead are piling up like cord wood across the state with each body wearing the now familiar bright teal and safety orange "Thanks, Obama!" toe tag. Official cause of death: OBAMACARE!
ReplyDeleteDon't believe ANYTHING positive you hear about Obamacare! Most Republicans are minimizing what a complete catastrophe it is, apparently out of misguided respect for and a sense of fairness to the first African-American Commander in Chief. Fox News - the only remaining voice of truth - is predicting the total annihilation of our exceptional nation within 30 days if Obamacare is not repealed and replaced with the GOP-sponsored Responsible Americans Health Care Reform for Medical, Financial and Religious Freedom & Prosperity Act, also known by its acronym "E.V.E.R.Y. M.A.N. F.O.R. H.I.M.S.E.L.F."

Of course Dobson also sued in December, saying the ACA mandate to provide the VIAGRA violates the religious beliefs.
ReplyDeleteOh he didn't ?? How about those extra visits to the ER for those pesky erections that last more than 4 hours- don't have a problem with that Mr. Dobson?
His column in the weekly paper I worked at, pissed me off every week, my no raise salary went to pay this jackal. doctor nod off the proof reader called him......
DeleteWhy aren't any of em, all of em, suing for the right to pay their fair share of taxes, property, income, gift whatever tax? No, they want to ban plan b because it's the "moral" thing to do.
ReplyDeleteHiring only christians is breaking the law, but it doesn't mean Dobson can force his beliefs no matter what the injunction says. Pay your dam fair share of taxes then we'll talk.
Happy Easter to those who believe, happy sunday to those who don't and happy everything I missed to those who are saying "Damn she's rude, she forgot x" !
This hideous human no doubt swallows a boner pill daily (just in case, mind you) and thinks nothing of how the taxpayers are funding his hopeless quest for sex.
