Sick. I hope that the CT Bishops speak out loud & clear.
Overton window
I hope they just shut down in protest. Watch the scramble.
A total disgrace. This is so egregious to all believers of the Catholic/Christian word. “Thou shall not kill”.

It's more like creeping excrementalism.
Watching this.
Will forcing Jewish daycares centers to offer porkrinds and pickled pigsfeet snacks to to the tiny tykes be far behind?
Gotta be cultural diverse nowadays...
Abort the democrat candidates.
Catholic hospitals provide about 25% of hospital care. In some areas it is much greater. They also provide a greater proportion of care to Medicaid and the uninsured than other hospitals. I do hope the Bishops stand firm and we will see who blinks first. If Catholic hospitals shut down, private entities will not have the resources to buy many if not most of them because, hospital margins are small, and Catholic hospitals also rely on charitable enowments. The government could try to take them over, but this would be worse than bailing out the car companies. Just think how bad the access would be if the Catholic hospitals closed down.
What do Catholic owe to the Democrat liberals anyway?
You cannot be a serious practicing Catholic (or Mormon, or Presbyterian, or even a Bible thumping Baptist) and a liberal Democrat at the same time.
And if the Islamists could look beyond the obvious socialist message long enough, they would see the secular socialists are not their allies either - what with all the concerns with making the workplace and the streets safe for those who practice perversions of moral character (i.e., drug use, sexual depravity, generally unclean habits of dress and conversation), the Islamists would execute their former comrades without a moment’s hesitation.
As was expected. Now the Bishops need to decide if they are willing to go to jail for their refusal to comply. I’m thinking that if enough folks see these men standing against such an assault on Religious Liberty by the Fed. Govt., it might just change their attitudes about the Govt. in general and Obamacare in particular.

Important article for any and all conservatives. This point is essential for understanding why leftism needs to be fought very vigorously and NO compromise. Someone may say, "well, isn't a bit late for that?". My answer - it's never too late. In fact, it's high time to fight back.
And the following quote is applicable not just to the 0bomba administration, but all leftists/communists/socialists/culture of death-ists/democrats etc.
Something we have to remember when considering the Obama Administration’s erosion of the 1st Amendment through the HHS mandate, is the element of what I call “creeping incrementalism”. Each time some radical thing is proposed, even if it fails, nevertheless bumps the needle just a tad in the radical direction. Over time, tiny little increments of shift add up to a huge shift.
DONT TAKE FEDERAL MONEY,Or you open yourself up to tyranny
Pretty much confirms that the whole Obama “contracepetion” mandate is really all about forcing everyone to subsidize, and in the case of Catholic hospitals, provide abortion.
