Obama's Final Word: Catholics Must Buy/Provide Coverage for Abortion Drugs
Cybercast News Service ^ | 6/28/2013 | Terence P. Jeffrey

Posted on 06/28/2013 11:47:53 AM PDT by markomalley

The Department of Health and Human Services today released the final text of the final adjustments to the Obamacare regulation that requires virtually all health-care plans to provide cost-free coverage for sterilizations, contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs.

Catholics and Evangelical Christians have objected to the regulation, arguing that it violates their First Amendment right to the free exercise of religion. The Catholic Church teaches that sterilization, contraception and abortion are all intrinsically immoral. Evangelical Christians believe that abortion takes an innocent human life and is thus wrong.

The final regulation issued today provides no accommodations at all for individual Catholics and other Christians who morally object to the mandate. It also makes no accommodations for private for-profit employers who morally object to the mandate. Catholic and other Christian individuals in the United States will now be forced by the Obama administration to get coverage for sterilizations, contraceptives and abortion--whether they want it or not.

The Obama administration's mandate says: They have no choice.

In the battle between good and evil, Obama has chosen his side. May God have mercy on his soul (if Obama still has a soul).

Notice that those who practice Islam are not included. They got a waver.

He can go to Hell. If the Catholic Church is forced in some way by this dead soul servant of the most low, then the sonofabitch has shown the Constitution is no longer a binding document and open season should start immediately thereafter. With Roberts on the high court (no caps on purpose) any command little barry sonofabitch makes will be upheld regardless of Constitutionality.

Religion must be destroyed. Religion equals morality and what is moral must be defined by the Government and not God. Separation of Church and State? No, tenets of religion must be defined by Government regulation. Maybe a new cabinet position is required.

Hard to fight back when our "leading" Cardinal in the U.S. (cough! .. NYC.. cough!) will not stop it from ALREADY happening in his own backyard ...

Sad, sad times ... pray for our bishops' souls ... as leaders, and direct descendents of the Apostles, they are held to a higher standard ...

The final regulation issued today provides no accommodations at all for individual Catholics and other Christians...

This really isn't a surprise to any 7 day a week believers.

I think what we will see over the next 20 years is a removal of the tax exempt status for any church that won't marry homosexuals and a loss of accreditation for all parochial schools that don't follow the education dept. mandated curriculuum. The USA is dying and being reborn as the USSA.

Liberals/progressives/socialists think churches should be happy that they're allowed to be open on Sundays. It's hard to believe this country has fallen so far so fast.

I’m not a Catholic. I stand shoulder to shoulder with them on this issue. We really need to take a stand as a people on this issue.

I don’t care if you’re an atheist, agnostic, or loathe Catholicism, this is one of those moments where they came for someone else, you stood there, and when they came for you, there was nobody left to defend you.

This punk has got to learn the Eastwood rule.

Wasn’t this what the so-called “pro-life” Democrats said would not happen?
