So does this highlight the possibility of being able to avoid the aborto parts of 0’deathcare?
A company can state in public that it is religious in nature and such religion is opposed to abortion? Hence no taxpayer-funded baby killing in said company?
And... what about a religion that has the characteristic that such religion is opposed to say, anything in the bill?
Another line of hell to throw at ‘em.
The very fact that a religious organization has to ask for permission from the government to follow its religious principles is just beyond belief.
What has become of this country?
The Catholic church should put its foot down on Kathleen Sebelius. Issue her an ultimatum that unless she resigns as secretary of HHS, and renounces this mandate, she will be excommunicated.
And not the “self-excommunication” dodge they have used in the past, but via the full ex-communication, and an official statement to this effect be provided to the dioceses of the United States, to be read aloud if they so choose.
Her excuse, if she has even bothered to give one, that she is “only following orders”, is as unacceptable today as it was in the past.
America today is not yet tyranny, but unless Americans stand up against tyranny, it may be in our future. And to stand up means to not tolerate the actions of tyrants, like Kathleen Sebelius.
