Comrade Obama thinks all of us are as stupid as the dopes that voted for him. The storm is coming and he will be surprised at the powerful blow back it brings.

[raybbr]

If I was a Catholic hospital director I would announce that I would not take the money. And, then announce the closing date.

[pnh102]

Catholic hospitals should simply quit accepting federal money.

While I do not agree with any of Obama's rules, I do believe that this type of thing should be a teaching moment for entities which accept federal funds but have disagreements with the strings attached to those funds. Find a way to cut the cord.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Civil disobedience, folks.

Everything the 60’s radicals used to get us here, we'll need to use to take us back to what our Founding Fathers created.

[Redbob]

Guess we’ll soon see how many have consciences of convenience.

[kellynla]

so the Catholic hospitals will refuse federal funds...
the Catholic schools have not only survived but prospered for decades without federal funding...

and without federal funding, the hospitals should quit giving medical care to illegal aliens and others showing up at the emergency rooms with non-emergency medical issues...

next...

[Don Corleone]

Abortion=Government sponsored ritual murder!

[Betis70]

How could he do this during Lent, our most holy month? Catholics will be rioting in the street.

Oh wait, we aren’t Muslims.

[joe fonebone]

I guess what i need answered is this, if Catholic hospitals still refuse to perform abortions, what will happen? I mean, what are the consequences?

[GBA]

The blow back can’t come soon enough for me. Obama and all the stooges who voted for Pelosi war on America are really pissing me off with all the porkulus crap they dumped on us...and expect our grandkids to pay for.

Don’t you just love the way leftists respond when their plans are exposed?

“Oh, that law/idea/agenda doesn’t even exist, you’re just making stuff up.”

Libs, this is YOU:
John 8:44
You belong to your father the devil, and you want to do what he wants. He was a murderer from the beginning and was against the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he shows what he is really like, because he is a liar and the father of lies

[blueyon]

God help the first women who walks in the hospital for the abortion. You no she will be a N.O.W. type of gal who is testing the waters.

[pgkdan]

Close all Catholic hospitals, clinics and any other health care facilities. The Bishops ought to stand up as one and denounce Obama, this action by Obama and then announce closure of all Catholic health facilities.

Let's see how long it takes for the howls and screams to start. In many places the only health care available to people is from Catholic hospitals or clinics. Close them all down. Let Obama lay hands on them and cure theeir infirmaties!

[Just A Nobody]

Why not simply refuse federal funding?
If the community wants the hospital there, let them fund it.
Why can't the diocese fund it?
Cut costs by ending the illegal invaders free lunch.
Just because they refuse federal funding, is no reason to close down.

I suggest this tactic with public schools and works as well.
Stop taking federal funds and run your own state/schools/highways/hospitals.

[Lion Den Dan]

The hospitals should refuse the money and either do what they can without government money or close. Here, in my part of western ND, closing the Catholic hospital would close the only hospital in the south western 1/4 of the state. An equivalent facility would then be as much as 200 miles away. Perhaps the folks would get enough.

Now, the second conundrum; North Dakota has passed a law recognizing the humanity of an embryo and fetus. How does this jibe with the dear leader's dictate?

[cookcounty]

"The underhanded Obama administration has quietly moved to rescind the “conscience clause” found in agreements between the federal government and Catholic hospitals."

Horrific, if true. Can anyone cite a source other than Collin's one-sentence assertion?

[campaignPete R-CT]

maybe the feds will try to seize the hospitals, if they try to close. emminent domain and all.

i welcome the showdown.

[2harddrive]

What’s this about a guy named Farrakhan being Obama’s REAL dad, and THAT’S why he keeps the birth certificate under SEAL? Can anyone here elaborate and give more details?

[stockpirate]

bump for later

[PBRSTREETGANG]

A Friday in Lent makes it that much more poignant.
