EDITORIAL: Obama’s free abortion pills (Obama forces religious organizations to give abortions)

Someone should tell President Obama there’s no such thing as a free abortion pill. The White House is trying to douse a political wildfire sparked by an Obamacare mandate forcing religiously affiliated institutions to provide a full range of contraception measures for employees - including pills that induce abortions. Catholic and other religious leaders with principled objections cried foul, citing promises that they and their affiliates would be covered by a “conscience waiver” for any provisions of the law that created this kind of moral dilemma. On Friday Mr. Obama proposed a new rule whereby the onus would be on the insurance companies who cover the employees to reach out with cost-free contraceptives.

It was typical of the administration to make the proposed deal a giveaway program. Mr. Obama seems to be saying that if you don’t see who is paying for the abortion pills then no one is. “Religious organizations won’t have to pay for these services,” he said. But of course they will. Insurance companies may be required by law to provide these services at no cost to the recipient, but costs are still involved. Employers will still be directly subsidizing the birth control plan. It was a classic Obama compromise; he gets 100 percent of what he wants and the other side gets a lecture about fairness.

Never have we had a president who held such contempt and scorn for the citizens of this country

Never had a foreigner playing president before.

The “right” to a house or a car or Internet is patently ridiculous. There’s nothing in the annals of human history that’s ever proved that humans require shelter or transportation or *snicker* communication media. Those were things that we, as humans, had to seek and find on our own.
Can you imagine if the cavemen tried this shit? “Ugg has right to cave. Ugg stand here until cave given him.”
Needless to say:
*Ugg dies in the cold*

What a terrible way for 0bama's Uncle Omar to go.

“as they’re designed to prevent a fertilized egg to attach, not to prevent the fertilization in the first place”

Uh, no. Hormonal contraceptives were designed to prevent ovulation from occurring. It also keeps cervical mucus thick, preventing sperm from reaching an egg. If, in the slim chance a woman does ovulate on hormonal birth control, and the egg is fertilized, it does not implant in the uterus because the lining is thin.

But, if you read about the history of the Pill and it’s creator, the goal was to prevent ovulation in the first place...NOT prevent a fertilized egg from attaching in the uterus.

RE :”Unfortunately, once the initial outrage tapers off, once the righteous indignation of bishops, cardinals, priests, ministers, etc. fades from page one, the average churchgoer will just shrug it off and accept what has been done to them”

That plus voters just LOVE free stuff. Obama's common line is "I just gave you all this stuff for free as I didn't raise taxes". The popular Obama-care mandates all look free, even though they are not as the costs are hidden.

If Republicans call him a Nazi he will say "All I did was make things better with all my gifts and it didnt hurt anyone. You just hate me because I am ....".

Evidently it is impossible for Obama. Thank you for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!

thanks fer the lesson...so it IS designed to prevent fertilization, and can not be actively/daily monitored for *success* in that regard, but the known side effect IS abortion of the eggs & sperms that do make it thru the gauntlet...

even more reason to shine the light on everything about this evil *law*...

I just interpreted the conjunction "and" in the phrase, "abortion and pre-abortion medications" as a joining of both adjectives modifying the word, "medications".

In other words, the first one would be, "abortion medications" and the other would be "pre-abortion medications".

My thinking is that nothing in abortion-killing has anything to do with medicine.

Cordially,

Thanks sickoflibs.

I can see that reading. It’s not what I intended. Thanks for making me look harder at the words I put on the screen.
