Ubama is too slimy to let this get in his way.

He'll back down, and the Bishops will go back to enabling him.

Charlton Heston outlined this response. This is awesome if the Catholic Church stands up to Obama. Make Obama have to crack down on the rebel church leaders. This is a gift wrapped in a bow. Expose the SOB. They FEAR this,, they count in meek acquiescence.

Heston’s words-
“Well, the answer’s been here all along. I learned it 36 years ago, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., standing with Dr. Martin Luther King and two hundred thousand people.

You simply disobey. Peaceably, yes. Respectfully, of course. Nonviolently, absolutely. But when told how to think or what to say or how to behave, we don’t. We disobey the social protocol that stifles and stigmatizes personal freedom.

I learned the awesome power of disobedience from Dr. King who learned it from Gandhi, and Thoreau, and Jesus, and every other great man who led those in the right against those with the might.

Disobedience is in our DNA. We feel innate kinship with that disobedient spirit that tossed tea into Boston Harbor, that sent Thoreau to jail, that refused to sit in the back of the bus, that protested a war in Viet Nam.

In that same spirit, I’ m asking you to disavow cultural correctness with massive disobedience of rogue authority, social directives, and onerous laws that weaken personal freedom.

But be careful. It hurts. Disobedience demands that you put yourself at risk. Dr. King stood on lots of balconies. You must be willing to be humiliated, to endure the modern-day equivalent of the police dogs at Montgomery and the water Cannons at Selma. You must be willing to experience discomfort.”

This mandate is unconstitutional and can NOT be enforced.

Let’s evaluate Satan’s commitment to Separation of Church and State.

ahh but now Obama has made it ILLEGAL TO OFFER A POLICY for sale that does not have abortion.

The church has no first amendment right on the issue.

In fact no INDIVIDUAL has a right on the issue.

(does this mean companies no longer have to offer day care since abortion is mandatory?)
