Here is reality pregnancy is a choice, other than for the most tragic, horrible (and criminal) of circumstances.

Reality, however, is not always a consideration in this age of American entitlement.

Disease and illness sometimes have nothing to do with choice or responsibility. For example, lung cancer can strike those who have never smoked.

However, other than in the most extreme of circumstances, pregnancy is a choice. And there are those who deem actions surrounding this choice at odds with their religious beliefs.

That is why the Trump administrations decision to consider rolling back a federal mandate for free birth control (part of the boondoggle of Obamacare) is welcome.

The free birth control debate boils down to this the constitutional rights of Americans to remain true to their religious beliefs versus the perceived right of women to have free contraception to prevent the consequences of a personal choice.

Logically, there is little debate as to which side holds up from a constitutional perspective.

And speaking of reality, contrary to what entitlement-supporters like Nancy Pelosi think, no one is denying women access to birth control. This is what Pelosi had to say (from http://www.huffingtonpost.com): The draft rule attempts to tear away womens control over their own private health decisions and put that control in the hands of employers and politicians.

Women can still obtain birth control; they should just pay for it themselves. This may be a foreign concept to some liberals people using their own money to pay for products and services but the concept works.

And we are not implying that employers should not be allowed to include contraception coverage in their health care plans for female employees. If businesses want to provide this benefit, that is fine. The problem is when the federal government forces employers and/or businesses to include this benefit with little to no regard for religious beliefs.

According to the U.S. Constitution, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that states the federal government can force a private employer to provide insurance coverage for free birth control pills and prohibit someone from the free exercise of their religion.
