Now Catholic Charities has two choices: Violate church teaching, or drop prescription drug coverage.

Or just do what is starting to become popular by the anarchist left and just ignore the ruling. After all, isn't that what the extreme left is doing more and more these days?! The laws they don't like they just ignore as being unjust or something like that! Why heck, why not just do away with all civilized laws and we all just do what we want whenever we want.

We can then proclain America, the land of Anarchy and the totally free (of civility and the law). </sarcasm>

If the Catholics resist this ruling, they will be resisting...

...an unjust "law" written by oligarchs who were themselves violating the law when they wrote it

...which is directly contrary to the intent of the legislature in passing the original law.

...and violates the Constitution.

...and they would be doing it in an effort to remain free, not to impose their opinion on others.

When Gavin Newsom, for instance, allows gay marriages to be performed in San Fran, he is violating a just law that is the clearly expressed will of over two-thirds of the people of his state. One of the reasons he's doing it is in the hopes that the court battle which results will impose gay marriage on the rest of the nation, against the will of the people.

Surely you can't believe that those two acts are morally equivalent? Surely you can't believe that when the government violates the 1st Amendment the only good thing for a citizen to do is shut up and take it?
