But Obama opposes a regulation put into place by the Bush administration that would require those federally funded providers to certify compliance with the law, Sebelius said.

So the results/fruits are the same - job loss/discrimination. O again, speaks softly, but does not carry the big stick of compliance.

So he supports the law that allows conscience decisions but then refuses to enforce it? Or is he saying he supports the law allowing conscience decisions but will look the other way so that no one has to show compliance with the law?

As I’ve said before; it’s too bad all these pro-abortionist mother’s didn’t share their views.

Federal laws are generally enforced by regulations. Obama’s at it again, ignoring whatever legal constraints he feels like ignoring.

Obama is a liar. Just like he is firing IG’s the same will be under OBAMACARE the doctor will be fired if he choses not to comply by giving women abortions on demand.

Obama always trying to be on both sides of an issue. He has absolutely no credibility on this issue he has approved the torture and murder of the most vulnerable citizens of this country.

Did you ever wonder why this callous SOB had no problem cracking a joke about special olympics?

He is on one side - the abortion side, but he’s constantly trying to portray himself to the masses as being more pro-life.

Anything the dead-soul Sebelius says should be immediately suspect. One abortion worshipper protecting another ... wickedness is getting more bold every day don’tchaknow.

When is a right not a right? When there is no compliance enforcement. If this guy ever wants a private sector job, heaven forbid, he’d make a great used car salesman, no insult to used car salesmen.
