These restrictions apply only to Christians. Towelheads don’t have to obey.

I wish Catholic Charities would just say clearly at the git-go, "We do not provide conraception and abortion and we never will."

The Feds then say "Then you can't be a federal contractor."

Then Catholic Charities gets off the Federal teat.

A tough outcome but a good one, in my opinion.

The American Civil Liberties Union is taking the US federal government to court to find out whether Catholic Charities are providing abortions to illegal immigrants. According to Vox, the ACLU is filing the unusual lawsuit to find out whether illegal unaccompanied migrants have access to contraception and abortion while being cared for by Catholic charities. The Catholic Church works as a federal contractor in its work housing unaccompanied children, and which means it must conform to government regulations regarding healthcare.

Well, did they?

My humble opinion is that Catholic Charities is the most awful organization ever developed by the Church. They are essentially slaves to the Feds.
