A Brief Comparison of Health Care Plans Obama’s plan includes coverage for adults and children who have a pre-existing condition. Romney’s plan includes coverage for people who have a pre-existing condition – but only if they have had continuous health insurance coverage. The Insurance Podcast Roundup went up on June 25, 2012. This week, I’d like … Continue reading →

New Judge Assigned to Kansas Abortion Lawsuit – Again!

There is a lawsuit in Kansas that is in regards to health insurance coverage for elective abortion. The original judge presiding over the case passed away, so it was reassigned to a new judge. Now, the case has been reassigned, again, to an entirely different judge. I cannot help but wonder why this change was made. In Kansas, there is a law that requires individuals who want to have insurance coverage for abortion to purchase a supplemental policy. Another word for “supplemental policy” is “rider”. Whenever a person needs to purchase an additional rider to add to their existing health … Continue reading →

Abortion-Only Insurance?

Posted on by

Lawmakers in Kansas are debating a bill that, if passed, would require women to purchase separate, abortion-only, insurance policies at some point in time before they considered having that particular procedure done. One lawmaker’s comments are nearly as controversial as the topic of abortion itself. One could spend hours debating the moral or religious implications of abortion. I’m going to set aside all of those arguments, and just focus on the implications of abortion-only policies from an insurance perspective. If this bill is passed, it would involve the creation of a brand new type of insurance policy, that does not … Continue reading →

The Confessions of a Pro-Life, Right Wing Conservative, Part 1

The other day Pattie wrote an article asking (or really telling us) that there are Christians on both sides of the fence and being liberal or conservative doesn’t a Christian make. What has ensued is an interesting conversations therein in her comments section. I’m actually going to address her article in two parts. However, the right to life debate is often at the forefront of election debates and it is, arguably one of the first things many conservative Christians want to know when choosing a candidate. Dare I say it? Many of you conservative Christians out there vote based on … Continue reading →

Abortion: An Assault on the Defenseless

I was deeply touched by the article in this month’s Ensign written by Elder Russell M. Nelson entitled, “Abortion: An Assault on the Defenseless.” The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has always stood against abortion, and in this article, Elder Nelson reiterates the Church’s policy and reminds us of the sanctity of life. He begins by mentioning the statistics of the men and women who were killed in action in World War I and II. Together, those wars saw over thirty million soldiers felled in defense of our country. That is a lot of death. And yet, today’s … Continue reading →

Man vs. Animal Double Standards: Euthanasia

On “And I Thought Declawing Was Bad?”, Samual left the following comment: “I hate it when owners or the police punish the animal for aggression, every animal is aggressive in some way but if it’s to the point where it goes around biting people it’s because the animal has not been taught not to bite. The police need to stop just putting the animals down and punish the owner instead.” Unwittingly, Samual touched on something that’s long bothered me and more than once aggravated me to the point of tears: the double standards that exist for man and beast. I’m … Continue reading →

Now is the Time to Teach Your Homeschoolers About Politics

There could not be a better time during a presidential election to teach homeschoolers about politics and the elections process. It is just so easy to take advantage of this ginormous teaching opportunity presented during a presidential elections season. This also makes a great summer project since many kids are taking a break from their regular studies. So far, during the elections process, my kids have learned about the nomination process as we have followed the nomination process of the presidential candidates. They now understand delegates and superdelegtes, and even argue as to why the process needs overhauling. When they … Continue reading →

Abortion and Adoption: What Her Mom Did

Posted on by

In my last blog, on talking to my adopted child about the birds and the bees (and the fish!) I promised to share the next big conversation that took place the week after. Meg was perusing a Christian catalog which offered books, games, artwork, and clothing for both children and adults. She came upon a page of products for people in pro-life ministry, especially anti-abortion ministry. These were products such as “little feet” stamps and shirts, bumper stickers and prayer cards with various images and wording, etc. With her newfound reading ability, she read a bumper sticker aloud: “Choose Life, … Continue reading →

Gospel Questions: Why Do Mormons Preach Abstinence?

In a world where everything seems to revolve around sex, where sitcoms get their biggest laughs from sexually-related jokes, it seems a little odd to preach abstinence. I mean, kids aren’t going to listen – why not just teach about birth control instead? But as the focus of society shifts more and more to sex, at the same time, more and more voices of reason are stepping forward to talk about the benefits of abstinence. Religious figures are not the only ones to speak out – medical authorities have also talked about it. And more teenagers are listening than we … Continue reading →
