Simple Liberty - Matt Walsh clippings

So... I found this blog (thanks to the bestie) and I've decided to cut and paste the "Preach Brother!" moments I had with it here.  You can read the full article here, and you should!  I loved every sentence of it.  And then I'll be done with this stupid issue.


This ruling is a limited victory for freedom and sanity, but it doesn’t go nearly far enough... they focused the issue down to the specifics of Hobby Lobby’s particular situation, meaning that other companies, businesses, and corporations will still be subject to Orwellian speech infringements.

When you ask [your boss] to pay for what you do in the bedroom, you are inviting him in. Want him out? Good. Then stop making your birth control into a national headline. Deal with it yourself, privately.

Which is more likely to hurt you in the long run — a dogmatic Jehovah’s Witness business owner, or an unrestrained and power hungry government agency? [this is a] slippery slope that, historically, leads to oppression, murder, bankruptcy, and collapse. The former is just an extreme, limited, and unlikely application of a universal liberty.

The women I know are much deeper than that... [they] possess a pro-life conviction so profound that the very thought of abortion causes them pain and grief... Millions of women in this country would sooner die than march with you... How dare you.
 
...realize that the cost of birth control has actually increased BECAUSE of insurance coverage.
