Churches aren't going to roll over for this.

According to the article, "houses of worship and other religious nonprofits that primarily employ and serve people of the same faith will be exempt."

If that's the case, as long as a religious organization is allowed (by our all-caring, all-powerful nanny state) to primarily employ and serve only people of the same faith, it will be allowed to decide to not provide contraception (until the nanny state rules otherwise, of course).

Thanks for the clarification. Of course the rules will be changed to tighten up and tighten up until churches get caught up in the big squeeze.

IMO, the government has no business whatsoever telling churches what to do. It’s one of those exempt areas where the government should have no say. If there’s criminal activity being investigated, I think there’s a government (police whatever) mandate to intervene, but other than that, just no.
