If your family needs help with birth/population control, I'm sure donations would flow from the board for that worthy cause. If you can't afford that on your own....let us know.

"family planning"---"population control" ---BULLSQUAT! .--you to much of a wienie to just say murder? How many of your children have you murdered? AND what makes you think that you have ANY more right to choose murder than I do to choose life and make every attempt to change the law(a poorly written law, pushed by liars). Have I hurt your family for my stance? Do I make you nervous when I protest? you noted the Constitutional Amendment.. I also note same. Especially the part that says: or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. now, you did not, nor can you answer my question because there has been no politician(at least as far as I remember) that has forced any state run religion down your throat EXCEPT maybe that of a man hiding behind the skirts of a woman killing his own children. and you are supposed to have a Phd? another waste of taxpayer money I bet.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion... Who's trying to establish religion? Maybe some figures on the fringe, but not much else. Refusing to force religious organizations to pay for contraception and abortificants, certainly doesn't amount to establishing religion, and arguably is part of "prohibiting the free exercise thereof". Even totally outlawing contraception wouldn't be establishment of religion. It would only be a violation of the "right to privacy" that the supreme court invented, which is not found in the constitution. I would oppose an attempt at such a ban, and it reasonably would be considered unconstitutional as a federal law because it goes beyond the powers given to the feds (like the individual mandate, but apparently Roberts was desperate to uphold the law at any cost).
