I’ve weighed in from the beginning. I don’t like this. It will backfire and, in time, will enable discrimination against us as Christians. Fortunately, it was a VERY narrow ruling so that may save us.
But did you see the one where the Government can pay for the Contraception per the opinion? So the Government will soon be paying for it out of existing ACA funds.
I may stand alone here, but I think this ruling is a disaster for the reasons stated.
See #4.
I don’t think it’s a disaster. It appeals to the RFRA, so if that is ever appealed, then it would come up again for review.
We are all doomed anyway so as Hilary says “What difference does it make?”
Uh but Congress would have to authorize that expense. I know that that won’t stop Obama, but he only has 2 years left...and hopefully less if republicans win the senate and grow a pair. I can dream can’t I?
The Hyde amendment will likely keep it.from being funded by govt.
“I may stand alone here, but I think this ruling is a disaster for the reasons stated.”
The ruling was narrow, but precise. It found the HHS regulation violated the RFRA. There was no need to go beyond that reasoning, and it did not. I would have preferred to see a more expansive reading, but I am thrilled it was not 5-4 for the other side!
let the blame fall on those who desire to do evil. they’ve been warned countless times. we can always work to get the law changed. but if it’s gonna be on the books let the evildoers pay for their evil. ie govt leaders in charge of the pocketbook.
our work isn’tover, we have to work on reversing the law and not allowing govt to pay for’it.
