California Forces Churches to Directly Fund Abortions, Churches Refuse to Comply
LifeSite News ^ | 10/22/14 | Cheryl Sullenger |

To the dismay of California’s people of faith, the California Department of Managed Health Care has reclassified abortion as a “basic health service” under the Affordable Care Act and ordered all insurance plans in the state to begin covering surgical abortions immediately. Even churches are not exempt from funding abortions.

Operation Rescue opposes this policy that forces men and women who deeply oppose abortion on religious grounds to fund surgical abortion in violation of their faith, and encourages others to oppose it as well.

“Since Obamacare was first introduced, we warned that the day could come when Christians would be required by the state to violate their consciences through forced payments for abortion,” said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue. “Now, with this mandate in California that imposes forced abortion funding on churches, it has come time for men and women of faith to stand against this tyranny and refuse to comply with this unjust law that would make us accessories to the taking of innocent human life.”

Last year, Operation Rescue launched the “Pledge for the Preservation of Life and Liberty,” which has been signed by most of the nation’s best respected pro-life leaders.

This Pledge has been carefully crafted to stand as a ‘line in the sand’ regarding any scenario in which the Affordable Care Act forces individuals to participate – whether directly or indirectly – in the destruction of human life. In short, the pro-life movement has chosen one answer to being forced to fund abortion through healthcare: We will not comply.

This warms my heart. The Bride is beginning to stand and say No to governments that are no longer worthy of any Legitimacy. It’ s Acts 4 time.

Well the Democrats in California have pushed Democrat Christians to the precipice.

The Christian Democrats must choose their faith or their party.

Their Soul or their Socialism.

Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger “Colored people are like human weeds and are to be exterminated.” she hoped to discourage blacks and other “undesirables” from reproducing.

Rab can but observe. Genocide is a Race issue rather than a socialism concept. You’re tax dollars at work.

We have here a simple case of homonym confusion. Fortunately, a grammar cop noticed this egregious offence!

Your: a possessive pronoun meaning: belongs to you

You’re: a simple contraction of: you are

Yore: an archaic word meaning : of old.

WORDS MEAN THINGS!!

Grammar police mode off.

When I started reading, instead of California, I thought I was reading China with a pinch in my heart that there was going to be riot police attacking churches in China... Smh
