First Lady Hails Free-Contraception Mandate: 'We Made History' By Fred Lucas April 25, 2012
(CNSNews.com) – First lady Michelle Obama boasted at a campaign event in Omaha, Neb. on Tuesday that the Obama administration made history when it passed the president's health care proposal--and mandated that insurance companies would have to provide free contraceptives.
"Two years ago, we made history together by finally passing health reform," said Mrs. Obama. "And because we passed this law, insurance companies will now have to cover basic preventive care--things like prenatal care, mammograms, contraception--at no extra cost."
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) finalized the "preventive services" regulation in January and it will take effect for most employers on Aug. 1. It mandates that nearly all health insurance plan in the United States must provide women with sterilizations and all FDA-approved contraceptives, including those that can induce abortion, without any fees or co-pay.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and many Catholic leaders in the United States have voiced strong opposition to the mandate because they say it would force Catholics--whose church teaches that sterilization, contraception and abortion are wrong--to act against their consciences and the teachings of their faith. In comments submitted to the Department of Health and Human Services, in which they asked the administration to rescind the regulation, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops called it an "unprecedented attack" on religious liberty.

Yeah lots devices passed out to screw the American way of life
They even installed a scumbag in the whitehouse
Just a little too long for a tagline. Had to shorten it. Great line though.
Your characterization is far too benign.
He, and his puppetteers on the other end of the Blackberry, burn with a white-hot hatred of this country, Western Civilization, and freedom in general.
Historic douche bag. Free at last.
But my children and grandchildren, and the grandchildren of my grandchildren will have to pay for it.
‘We Made History’
Hitler made history.
Stalin made history.
Pol Pot made history.
......What’s your point Michelle????????
Yes - MARKETS.
and people.
Murder is a preventative service now?
THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH..JUST LIKE THERE IS NO FREE CONTRACEPTION.....IT COST THE TAXPAYERS...NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS
This s##t is reason #1 why, even though I’ll probably have to cough up my lunch before doing it, I’ll go in and pull the lever for Romney (I know, I don’t care much for him either). But damn, we know Obama, besides being a Marxist hell bent on destroying what’s left of this country, never met an abortion he didn’t like.
“There is nothing more selfish than a liberal.”
So very true.
Since when did the US voters pass a bill granting her powers to make laws? Or was that another of Hussein's late Friday Executive Orders?
We can screw like gerbils!!!!!!! Whooo Hoooo!
Wow - all this free stuff from the Obamas. Can I have a pony?
Too bad it’s not retroactive Michelle.
Gosh, Michele Obama is such a persuasive speaker. Can't guess how many voters she swung over to the Democratic side with these comments.
"The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) finalized the "preventive services" regulation in January and it will take effect for most employers on Aug. 1."
Umm, it'll never take effect because the SCOTUS will overturn the legislation two months earlier.
