Jerry Pournelle had some interesting comments on this move by Obama concerning Catholic institutions:
“Some years ago the California legislature contemplated a law that would require any hospital that had a maternity ward to perform abortions on demand.
The elderly Mother Superior who ran St. Joseph’s hospital went to the legislature and said as follows:
I am as abbess of the order that owns this hospital a corporation sole, and I own this hospital. If you pass this law I will send all the patients to other hospitals, discharge the staff, cancel all the insurance policies, and order the demolition of all the buildings. Thank you.
Now she was very much of the Old School, and no one doubted she meant every word of it. The law never got to the floor of the assembly. I have no idea what President Obama thinks he is doing here, but I cannot see how this will help him be reelected.”

Obama has tweaked the Catholics because he and his people think it great fun. I don’t think they understand what they have done to themselves. At least I hope I am right about this, not being a Catholic. But my take is that this may wake up a lot of always-voted-Dem old school Catholics.
Let’s hope the 54% of Catholics who voted democrat the last time wake up.
Thanks much.
I lost track of Jerry after Byte’s demise.
Much appreciate the link.
Good on that Mother Superior, BTW.
See this for what it is....and fight it, resist it, and destroy it. We must remove this vermin in the White House, and return this country to the Constitution, freedom and liberty. We have the fight of our lives ahead of us...and we must be in it to win it.
