Obama Administration Forces California Churches to Pay for Abortions
Life News ^ | Jun 21, 2016 | Steven Ertelt

Churches in California are officially subject to an onerous state regulation that requires them to pay for abortions, thanks to a ruling by the Obama administration.

The troubling situation began in 2014 when the California Department of Managed Health Care reclassified abortion as a “basic health service” under the Affordable Care Act and ordered all insurance plans in the state to begin covering surgical abortions immediately. Even churches are not exempt from funding abortions.

The churches filed a lawsuit against the regulation last October, and it has been moving through the courts.

They also asked the Obama administration to uphold the Weldon Amendment — federal law that protects conscience rights. But, today, the HHS Office of Civil Rights released the results of its investigation into the California abortion mandate, stating it found no violation and is closing its investigation of the complaints without further action.

The Obama administration hates sincere Christians.

The Obama administration loves killing innocent, unborn babies.

...The Obama administration loves killing innocent, unborn babies....

Also, in assisting in and/or acquiescing to the persecution and deaths of Christians in the Mid East.

The fundamental transformation continues.

Just stop obeying him. He counts on fear based compliance. He is like a child, a firm no can be a game changer.

The most deadly enemy of the American people is its government.

I used to not take black people seriously when they said stuff like that, but they've been there from the beginning sounding the warning.
I may get zotted for speaking my mind, but Lincoln didn't free anyone.
He built a government that made EVERYONE its n****r.

PHOOEY to the obamunists, in DC and in California!!!!

Abortion is NOT a “basic health service”, except under Orwellian terminology!!!!

And Christians and their Churches have rights under the First Amendment, which were given by God, NOT by government!!!!

PHOOEY again!!!!

"I have only forced you to pay for abortions. Pray I do not force you to perform them."

Eventually Christian pastors will be forced to marry homosexuals. Obama and the left will do everything they can to eliminate the Christian church and influence in America.

Just stop and think for a minute.

With a name like Barack Hussein Obama, how could any American pull the lever for him?

He is anathema to Jews and Christians....including those types who munch tacos.

This insidious Muslim should have been dragged out of the disgraced White House years ago, yet the complicit one party system Congress has done absolutely nothing except accommodate the lop-earned nation hater.

I think most good black people have figured out that white people don't apply to them. It's reserved for the black equivalent of white trash which we hate just the same. Good people are good people. Bad people are bad people. Has little to do with race.

I remember his worshippers in 2008 saying “How DARE you imply he’s a muslim!?” whenever I dared to speak their god’s middle name.

Half the Catholic bishops in this country will vote for Hillary rather than Trump.

“Half the Catholic bishops in this country will vote for Hillary rather than Trump.”

I think the correct percentage is far higher than 50%.

This “war” is only on Christians. It has always been about destroying Christianity for 100s of years-—to “kill” God—so the State/elites can be god.

Christianity created Free Will and Individual Natural Rights ONLY from God-—and the psychopathic, power-hungry elites want slaves only. The US Constitution created the only Free nation in the history of the World—because of the Christian Worldview in our Ethics System-—the Justice System which only embedded the Christian Worldview-—the most free and just and equal system ever devise. For NWO and return to slavery, Christianity has to be destroyed—so that worldview has been erased in our children-—the churches infiltrated a hundred years ago...to collapse it and destroy American “Justice” system.

Children have no concept of Natural Law and the ideas of the Founders. It is all being erased.

Could be. I am just guessing, based on a bishop’s estimate that half the bishops voted for Obama. With Pope Bergoglio screeching for No Borders, the Global Warming Hoax, etc., it could well be higher.
