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?
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.
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?
