I simply cannot believe all the religious descrimination going on in this country to use our money to fund atrocities so brazenly. Can you folks believe this? Don't you think she should win her case and the Union should have to pay the fees?
"Union Told Me to Pay Dues or Change Religion, Teacher Says
Randy Hall
Staff Writer/Editor
(CNSNews.com) - Told by a union official to pay forced dues or "change religions," a teacher in southern Ohio is challenging a state law that allows only those public employees who belong to certain denominations the right to claim religious objection to paying union dues.
Carol Katter, a mathematics and language arts instructor in the St. Marys district, filed a federal complaint in the U.S. District Court in Columbus this week over an Ohio law that prevents the lifelong Catholic from diverting her dues from a union she refuses to fund because it supports abortion on demand."

Yes I am. This isn't an abortion debate however.
Two wrongs, putting the girl through an abortion, wouldn't make the first problem go away but only worse. This is proven fact. The majority of abortions are from promiscuity and as a method of birth control and the women are lied to. They remember the babies birthdays, often feel suicidal, have physical complications and live with the phsychological and spiritual issues for years to come. Many lesbian clinicians will prey upon patients taking numbers off their charts. Nevertheless, it is not the right of a union to demand anyone support that. I would find it moral to support the 12 year old with counseling, a place to live, support of the baby or adoption all the way as being separate and apart from any NEA dues.
Grown men in war have a choice to fight for a cause. Babies have absolutely no defense whatsoever. They don't choose to die or put themselves at risk of dying. They don't choose to have their safe-haven violated.
