In reply to: Judge halts contraceptive mandate for firm owned by Domino's founder »

December 31, 2012

Here's the deal: A baby isn't a tumor, isn't cancer, isn't an infection. Babies aren't an illness or a disease. Ok, at 13, maybe they are all of the above, but I digress.

At best, and for a good percentage of the population, a baby is an elective proceedure in that they (both parents I hope) decided to inflict themselves with a child. Not unlike a boob job, tummy tuck, or teeth whitening. Their decisions to incur tens of thousands of dollars in medical care should not require the insurers to cover that proceedure.

Likewise, contraception is an elective, over the counter even, solution from contracting the dreaded "pregnancy" illness. So fearful of catching "babies" that people line up for shots, patches, pills, condoms and the like.

Who knew that all that is necessary to not catch "the babies" is to keep your pants zipped.

Instead, she sent over this statement Wednesday morning and she did not mince her words. (Links and italicized portions are my own; otherwise, it's as she wrote it.) Dear Friends: read more

    The committee opted Tuesday night to put off deciding on the ordinance until, at the earliest, its next meeting. Of note: The Athens-Clarke County attorney highlighted that the proposed times are, in essence, placeholders for the commission to change or keep as it pleases.   Full text of the Use of Public Right-of-Ways ordinance draft is below. read more
