Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan on Saturday derided President Obama's space program and called his administration's requirement that hospitals and universities, including Catholic ones, be required to offer contraception an "assault on religious liberty."
Ryan promised at a town hall meeting in Orlando that GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney would reverse the contraception mandate on "Day 1" if he is elected president. The mandate requiring all insurance plans to include access to contraception was part of Obama's health care overhaul.
Ryan's comments came in a response to a woman's question about whether he would ask Vice President Joe Biden in a debate how he reconciles his views as a Roman Catholic with the Democratic Party platform.
Both Ryan and Biden are Catholic.

Muslims charities are exempt because they only serve Muslims, they discriminate and that is a good thing to the left.
FYI, tomorrow’s Gallup still shows a tie, at 47%.

I just remember everyone writing about it at the time, that the mandate did not apply to religious charities that ONLY served their own members and not the general public or those with a different faith.
Besides, I think there is no chance the government is going to make Islamic charities do it
Well, theres no time like the present. Here's the actual legislation. Do you see any reference to Islam? Do you see any clause that would give them preferntial treatment? Do you know of any Muslim organization that would benefit from this exemption?
I never said it referenced Islam.
I said I read, here on FR, that it exempted religious charities that served only its members, i.e. “same religion”.
The word Islam would not need to be used.
I read the Snopes article. It didn’t debunk it at all. Am I missing something?
