It is a right to make your own medical decisions for your body. If someone doesn't like that, they can express their opinion and not partake, but their religious view doesn't trump the right to make your own medical decisions.

It's time to stop kowtowing to people claiming a religious need to restrict our rights. ISIS claims the same damn thing. And that's how we need to treat the trash that wants to take our rights away. Treat them like ISIS agents. Be aggressive - be brutal, because they don't have values - they have objectives. To accept that these fuckers have values is to admit ISIS has values.
