Since you have raised the church and state separation issue, you need to answer the question why does a hospital, although catholic, which serves the general public have a right to question someone who wishes to get free contraception provided by their insurance company?

I think the statement was 99% of women will/have? use(d) contraception some time during their adult life.

What do you mean, and what is its relevance?

People have been noticing this for years. There are days when his lips and eyelids are literally extremely blue where even makeup won’t cover them.

Why are religious leaders ever talking to Obama? As if they will get satisfactory relief?

They ought to be screaming to high heaven for this Anti-Christ's impeachment.

They do not have a right to question them. But they do have a right to decline to provide a service which is against their religious beliefs.

To steal a few lines from Krauthammer's latest column:
Catholic soup kitchens do not demand religious IDs from either the hungry they feed or the custodians they employ. Catholic charities and hospitals — even Catholic schools — do not turn away Hindu or Jew.
Just like Muslims restaurants don't serve pork and Hindu restaurants don't serve beef, Catholic organizations don't provide contraception or abortions.

I don’t know if you truly are incapable of “getting it”, or you’re a DU plant, or what?

Regardless of who raised which issue, the broader, deeper issue is this:

Obama claimed the RIGHT, under Obamacare, to tell Catholic hospitals and similar institutions that they must provide contraceptives and morning after pills...meaning abortion by pill...etc, free of charge to their workers.

When that was massively opposed, Obama then claimed the RIGHT, under Obamacare, to tell insurance providers that they must provide contraceptives and morning after pills etc, free of charge to the workers at Catholic hospitals and similar institutions.

What is stopping a janitor at the hospital from getting his or her own stuff?

Why is Obama free to mandate that everyone in AMerica be given free stuff, of this nature or any other.

Why is he trampling on religious freedom and business freedom.

Where is the Constitutional authority?

WHen you answer that question...and answer why you don’t seem to care about it...maybe you’ll get an attempt to answer your IRRELEVANT one.

“I think that the insurance companies agreed to this because it costs a lot less to provide free contraception than it does to pay for maternity care, delivery, and family medical care after a child is born.”

First, if that’s not coercion, I don’t know what is. Second, it’s abominable social policy. Third, we haven’t actually heard from the health care insurance industry on this—not that they’ll have any say in what the uberadministrators decide.

“I have a serious problem with any man/religion that says I cannot plan when I will bear children . . . “

Who’s forcing you to obey Catholic Church teachings? This isn’t about the issue of birth-control; it’s about forcing any religion, despite the protection of the first amendment, to subvert its own teachings to the whims of government. Don’t forget, a government that can coerce a religion to offer birth-control can also coerce it to offer abortion. Or to cut off the birth-control subsidies and triple the birth-subsidies.

You’re so right! These figures are from ether. Darn straight the polls aren’t accurate. More to the point, the citers of these polls are either clueless or lying.

Yet Czar Kathleen tossed them off in her press conference as if they mattered and never qualified them.

We don’t go to Jewish delis to buy bacon. And we don’t expect Disneyworld to offer X-rated movies. Branding’s okay and reliable only when it has nothing to do with religion?

It certainly is. And if Sebelius is including this method among her “99% of Catholics use it” statement, she’s as intellectually dishonest as she is amoral.

This "compromise" is no compromise at all.

The devil has been trying this trick ever since the Garden.

Now, that's very insightful with the devil in this case thinking that we are all complete fools, except those that actually think that there is a free lunch.

The beauty of this is dictator Obama has now ruled what he will allow and what he will not. All of the idiots that voted for his hope and change bullshit see him for what he is. Sorry Obama, Valerie has thrown you under the bus.

Good Job Val. You couldn’t have made it any clearer.
