Is this the US Conference of Catholic Bishops? Why are they griping? They’re in bed with obama on socialized medicine. They should not be surprised by this at all.
US bishops believe that the Vatican has given them a franchise, much like KFC; however, the agreement allows them to run in any direction they wish.
What this means is if you are a Catholic charity who provides health insurance to its employees, that health insurance MUST include free contraception.
If the Catholic charity decides to offer health insurance that does not provide free contraception, they will be prosecuted by the Department of Justice.
If the Catholic charity decides to off no insurance, they will be fined by the Department of Health and Human Services. That fine money will be used to provide free contraception to the Catholic charity’s employees.
I doubt SCOTUS will let this stand, however, this increases the importance of nominating a candidate who will defeat Obama, then the defeat of Obama and finally the repeal of Obamacare.
Any Christian or Jew that votes for Obama should be shunned by their fellow Christians and Jews.
Requiring an ID to vote is racist, burdensome and anti-poor, but forcing religious institutions to violate their code of ethics is perfectly acceptable.
bttt
Any Catholic who votes for Obama is either insane or stupid, but other denominations apply as well.
If the courts will not rectify this overreach by Great Leader, then I hope and pray the faithful take their hospitals and ‘shut-r-down’ with a big sign on the door explaining why. This is such a shruggable moment and even a blind-man can see the fascist nature of this move by the government.
Obama is an embarrassment.
I don't blame either...
I blame the real culprits who caused the final destruction of the Constitutional and the freedoms and liberties it sought to protect: The current-day "Tories" who, since the early 1970's, have sold out their Nation by institutionalizing their offspring (the government's children) in those government asylums that replaced the concept of "public schools".
