Living by Someone Else’s Beliefs

Under Health Law, ‘No-Cost’ Birth Control Starts Today

Unless you work for an organization with a religious affiliation, which now have a 1 year pass while an agreement is in the works.

But, wait! Now if you work for any organization who claims to run according to Catholic beliefs, you might be out of luck, per one Colorado court.

My wonder is how many of those beliefs only include contraception.  Are the courts going to make the owners only claim this violates their beliefs? Hopefully, they will make them prove they follow more of the faith than just the debate over birth control.

Real Beauty

While many have debated both campaigns, both have their good points and their bad.  For one, the VS campaign only shows fit/thin women.  These women, while not the majority of women out there, do work hard at their body for their job.  They are women, yes, but they do not define the majority I have to argue.

With that being said, neither does the Dove campaign.  I don’t see a true variety in either picture.  I’d like to see a real size spectrum – short, tall, thin, thick and athletic.
