According to Michael Moore’s tweet (and everyone on MSNBC and CNN), President Barack Obama is correct to force the Catholic Church to offer insurance that provides free birth control, sterilization, and the Morning After abortion pill — because “the law is clear” about “equal access to birth control for all women no matter where they work.”

God's Law trumps man's law every single time, fatso.

Glad the fundamental issue is not being overlooked: “free exercise” is MY INDIVIDUAL RIGHT and it trumps some invisibly penumbral “right” to have sex without its natural consequences (as if that promise was even possible, btw).

This is the moment when an American emperor tried to redefine our fundamental freedoms by an edict that creates a new fundamental and pervasive “right” to free “reproductive services” (how many rights require expenditures by others, btw?).

Bravo to our shepherds for framing this aspect of the issue: “Our concern remains strong that the government is creating its own definitions of who is ‘religious enough’ for full protection. Secular employers must provide coverage for contraception, sterilization and abortion inducing drugs...It seems clear there is no exemption for Catholic and other individuals who work for secular employers; for such individuals who own or operate a business; or for employers who have a moral (not religious) objection to some procedures such as the abortifacient drug Ella. This presents a grave moral problem that must be addressed, and it is unclear whether this combination of policies creates a mandate for contraception, sterilization and abortion inducing drugs covering more of the U.S. population than originally proposed.”

As God enjoys the irony, the seemingly (let us pray) watershed issue for the bishops is the right to follow a fundamental Church teaching that the clergy have largely failed to teach (as the media love to point out with surveys on use of the Pill). We can thank God if indeed this confluence of events has made the defense of Humanae Vitae of palpably prime importance to the entire hierarchy.

Propaganda king.

I find it somewhat satisfying to make any and all of our amoral, politically correct superiors realize their lack of total control over Christians when Christians decide to deny them that power.

It’s good for Christians to see the ultimate weakness of Mikey’s socialist government machinery lording over them as individuals in life. Mikey needs to move to China and even with the communist police machinery, they still can’t make all the Christians to be as insane and evil as they are. Communists can not sustain their atheist social ideal in the face of uppity Christians speaking and acting as Christians.
