I can crochet a little but I can't follow a pattern very well, but I gotta figure out how to make one of these.

For instance, right now legislators are arguing about whether, under Obama's new health care plan (if that even gets put in place, ever), all insurance plans should be required to cover birth control or if employers can elect to offer only insurance plans that do NOT cover birth control.
They are arguing about whether or not companies, and even individual employees of companies, should be able to refuse to provide services that go against their personal or religious convictions. For instance, if you are raped and go to a Catholic hospital for treatment (maybe the only hospital near you is a Catholic institution, or maybe you call 911 and that just happens to be where the ambulance takes you), the hospital may refuse to offer you the morning after pill to prevent pregnancy. Should they be required to offer that to you? Or, as another example, CVS fills prescription for birth control pills. But what it he pharmacist on duty today believes birth control pills are morally wrong? Should he be allowed to refuse to fill my prescription?
In many states, women are required to have an ultrasound and look at the image of her baby before she can have an adoption. Some legislators are arguing that women shouldn't have to do that, especially if the pregnancy is the result of rape. Others think it doesn't matter if the woman was raped - one senator (gosh, I can't remember who) recently suggested women should have to see the ultrasound even if she says she was raped because maybe she really wasn't raped and is just confused.
And so on.
