The Obama administration believes it is permitted under the Constitution to force religious organizations to pay for abortions, according to the newest brief filed in the long-running case brought by the nuns of the Little Sisters of the Poor.
The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Wednesday in the case, which consolidates cases from the Third, Fifth, 10th, and D.C. circuits. If the vote ends up 4-4, due to the absence of the late Justice Antonin Scalia, the lower-court rulings, most of which favored the administration, will stand.
The new brief on behalf of the nuns and several other organizations challenges an Obamacare requirement that their employee health insurance plans cover abortion pills despite their religious beliefs.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
So, he’ll force Catholic nuns to pay for abortion, but give muzz mullahs a pass.
Look for this commie regime to force a number of these kinds of cases down our throats to both get what they want, and to try and force the Stupid Party hand into approving an Obama appointment.
Why can’t I force the homo community to pay part of my health care insurance?
Because their filthy fag behavior and ferocious zeal for fellatio, fudgepackery and fece consumption (also seed guzzling) makes them sick and diseased and poisonous and incredibly, incredibly expensive to revive prop up, pay for and send back to the steam baths (and school yards) to start in all over again.
Why don’t they pay 100 times more than I do?
Payback for failing to bow to Allah and his disciple’s orders
My father is in a Little Sisters home . These nuns are living saints and I don’t say that lightly. That the Obama’s DOJ is putting their boots on the nuns neck is obscene.

Stare decisis does not apply to this Court.
Evil incarnate.
He is Beelzebama, the son of lies..
Next they’ll be forcing those nuns to deliver beer (wouldn’t want to force Muslim truck drivers to do that, of course).
Lord, have Mercy!

ObamaCare’s Muslim Exemption
BY HERBERT LONDON MAY 11, 2012
Laws almost always create unanticipated consequences. This is certainly likely to be the case when politicians bend over backwards to accommodate the currents of political correctness.
ObamaCare uses the Social Security language of the Internal Revenue Code to determine who is eligible for religious conscience objection to the insurance mandate. Specifically, the law provides exemptions for adherents of recognized religious sects that are conscientiously opposed to accepting benefits from any insurance, public or private.
As a consequence of this provision, Muslims may claim a religious exemption that is denied Christians and Jews. Since Islam believes insurance is haraam (forbidden) and likens insurance to gambling, the religion is excluded from requirements, mandates, or penalties set forth in the bill. Others who fall into this category are the Amish, American Indians, and Christian Scientists. Although the U.S. Constitution grants all Americans equal protection of the law, some Americans are more equal than others.
ObamaCare is specifically written not to apply equally to everyone. It is in most respects a law intended to discriminate — what some might call an extended Jim Crow law. If this seems exaggerated, consider: Jim Crow laws were based on racial discrimination, while ObamaCare is predicated on religious discrimination. Government acted based on a preconceived and arbitrary understanding of what is right.
For example, Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee Max Baucus indicated that the purpose of ObamaCare is as much about redistributing income as it is about reforming health care. This is an application of governments iron fist, putting income distribution and religious discrimination in the hands of Washington bureaucrats.
By any reasonable standard, ObamaCare (and the Congress that enacted it) is completely unfettered from the Constitution. If logic — Washington logic — accommodates Sharias prohibition against gambling and hence insurance, Christians and Jews should claim that the states ability to expropriate property under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution is a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment, thereby legitimating an exemption for these groups as well.
Muslims are given exemptions from law everyone else must follow. What has actually been enacted is a wedge between Muslims and Christians and Jews. Americans are pitted against Americans, Christian against Muslim, the Torah against the Koran.
..... Well of course ..... Why would anybody think otherwise. This sort of thing always happens in a free country. After all ... that is what freedom is all about .... Forcing people to do what YOU want them to do ..... Right?
That demonic obama creature is trying to make believers a two-fold child of hell more than he is,
They will take away the righteousness of the righteous,
This is Satan’s work and they are doing his will,
I have a number of things I’d like to shove down his....
Stupak and the other turncoats must br proud of their votes and believing the word of Barack Obama.
>>This is Satans work and they are doing his will,<<
No, those who have found righteousness in Christ Jesus will never be plucked from His hand. That we are assured of through the promises of God in Messiah Jesus.
Your second point...Right on the mark. lol
