Conflating mainstream Islam with jihadist extremism. . .this is as dumb and dangerous as excusing Hasan's murderous rampage with lefty-postmodern psychobabble.

Father, I have a question that I had never considered before this health care debate arose: is it immoral to purchase a health insurance policy that covers abortions? I participate in my employer's insurance benefit, and when in looking over the coverages, I see that "family planning" is covered - I presume that includes abortions. I suppose this means that the premiums I pay could potentially go toward someone's abortion. I don't know if I could afford health insurance for my family outside my employer, but of course cost could not be a consideration if my participation in this health plan is to participate in sin. Or am I far enough removed from any potential sin in this situation? What is my moral obligation here?
ReplyDeleteChristine, just off the top of my head I'd say this is very remote cooperation. If you can "opt out" of the abortion coverage, do so; if not, I'd ask if there's an alternative plan.
ReplyDeleteOne of the problems of "pitch into the pot and then take what you need" is that sometimes people throw nasty stuff in the pot and ruins everything in it. It becomes a question of how far removed what you want is from the nastiness.
