Oregon church changes sign after thinly veiled (actually not really veiled at all) sexual reference offends people. (link-o-matic)

Get StartedHere's a good one: Notre Dame cut a secret deal with the Trump Administration to deny birth control to students, faculty and staff. They did this after they tried, and failed to get the same result in court. Link
Because believing an imaginary man in the sky thinks there should be more unwanted pregnancies and more human beings on a planet quickly heading toward a human-caused climate disaster is just sensible policy, after all.
Notre Dame sucks.

What bogus climate science?bogus climate science
so now you're using bogus climate science to push your anti-religious beliefs in support of birth control (and presumably abortion too). classic shameless leftism at its finest.
What bogus climate science?
I don?t know...I?m don?t think I?m a classic leftist nor anti-religious and I?m a big supporter of birth control for people who don?t want to get pregnant.
And as I stated above (or something like it) I would support mandatory publicly provided birth control for women on public assistance - way less socially costly than more kids they - not to mention we - can?t afford.
i have no problem with people using birth control. I should have said, forcing people who are morally opposed to birth control to provide it to employees as part of their compensation.
the "science" that says man is causing catastrophic climate change that's threatening to overheat the planet.
Yeah I agree with that - birth control don?t cost much. If the college you go to don?t provide it, pay for it youself.
Googling I see $15-50/month depending on insurance. $50/month is too much for some people.
if $50 a month is too much, then $1200 a month (estimated cost to raise a child) is way out of reach. If you can't afford $50 a month, stop fucking.
I don't disagree with that math, but a lot of the things people like to do cost money. Getting pregnant is free.

On average, the temperature has gone up 1?C at a rate much faster that what looks like sudden jumps when the Earth pulled out of ice ages. Much faster than anything we see in Earth's history. There used to be swings of 5-8?, but they happened over 5,000 years, which is long enough for plants to relocate. (Just barely enough for trees to migrate, or maybe it's just barely enough because the only trees that survived could move that fast.)
Coral reefs are home to more biodiversity than any other habitat on Earth. They are the rain forests of the ocean. Something like a third or half of them are dead or dying.
In places where we've been surveying bug populations for decades, we're seeing populations drop by 45-76% across many species around the globe. Of course we're also seeing similar drops in the frogs and lizards the eat the bugs.
Globally, the amount of big animals has been crushed, both on land and in the oceans.
You can argue over how much of all this is due to the temperature rise vs. other things mostly also done by man, but acting like it's bogus science is stupid. There's nothing bogus about it. Even Trump recently said something about it changing, but it will change back. Go ahead and evolve your argument to something about it being more effective to keep the economy strong so we can adapt to the temperature changes and claim that was always your point so you don't have to admit you were terribly, terribly wrong, but don't hang on to this tired and absurd BS. The temperature is changing because of the way we changed the atmosphere.

then some people should use condoms or something else. The idea that people morally opposed to paying for someone else's birth control must do so because there are some people who can't afford a particular method is a stupid argument. The government has no business telling companies or individuals to pay their employees by any means other than legal currency. Anything else should be negotiated between the buyers and sellers.
no, it's not stupid, it's a viable alternative view - one that's more grounded in science than the claim that we're warming the planet.
