Nah, seriously, I was just trying to get my point across that it's disingenous to expect that the government is going to give ANY organization money without some strings attached.
And, the term "religion" is so encompassing, that any splinter group could claim religious freedom, and practice any far out belief without any regulation. Even snake handling is illegal in most states, and although I really don't think it should be, I suppose there needs to be a line drawn somewhere. There are religious groups who believe that it is their God given right to have sex with minors, use children as indentured servants, etc. and someone has to protect those kids.
So I am FULLY in favor of Americans (and all people, for that matter) having the right to choose not to have an abortion, choose not to receive medical treatment, choose not to take birth control, etc. but I am not in favor of that belief system being forced on to others who have not made that choice willingly.
SEe, once again, we're not that far apart!
