Obama gave me this paper that says Obamacare won't be used for abortion.

Earlier this week, religious employers suffered another loss at the hands of the coercive Obamacare Health and Human Services mandate.
A U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit panel ruled against East Texas Baptist University and a group of other non-profit religious employers in their challenge to the Obamacare requirement that they facilitate health care coverage for employees that includes contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs and devices, or fill out a form notifying the Department of Health and Human Services that they have a religious objection to providing such coverage.
This so-called “accommodation” then initiates the process of the government forcing insurers and third-party administrators to provide the mandated coverage to employees. For many religious employers, this alternative to directly providing coverage doesn’t assuage their moral objections.
East Texas Baptist University and many others argue that the causal link between notifying the government and the resulting provision of objectionable drugs and devices still violates their faith, and federal law prohibits the government from substantially burdening the free exercise of religion unless it can show that the burden is the least restrictive means of furthering a compelling government interest.

Just getting started
Make me wonder though. What happened to separation of church and state?
Get the government out of our religious institutions!
Bingo. America is circling the drain faster than I thought. I had hoped we could stop the tide.
It got finished circling, it has entered the drain
Christians need to band together and in the millions defy the tyrannical Federal government and the courts. Only in numbers and active resistance is there hope. Fighting through the court system is just going to be slow death IMO.
It has been replaced with government controlled churches
Texas is going crazy. What is happening to them?
The Catholic Church will give up its tax-exempt status before it will ever be controlled by the government.
Watch what happens.....I predict it.
Wow. The 5th Circuit is the most conservative.
But ... they won’t. : (
Yeah, right. This is the same Church that supports the rest of Obamacare, illegal immigration and globull warming.
Remember that Dingy Harry pulled the nuclear option in the senate to allow the rats to pack the courts, like the 5th, with lots of libs.
No. Just no.
Can you just imagine the property tax value of Catholic holdings?
That only exists when the heathens want it to
Oh I remember, but I don’t think that happened with the 5th. I could be wrong. Anyone enlighten me?
