White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Monday that American women "deserve" to have their employers buy them health insurance plans that cover sterlizations and all FDA-approved contraceptives, including those that cause abortions, with no fees or co-pay, even if the employer is a Catholic or Catholic organization that adheres to the church teaching that sterilization, artificial contraception and abortifacients are morally wrong and that Catholics cannot be involved in them.
"I understand that there have been objections and that some people disagree with us and we are going to work with institutions that have concerns here," Carney told reporters. "But I think it's important to note here that we believe these services are important and that American women deserve to have access to that kind of insurance coverage regardless of where they work."

Scary to contemplate where this will end.
Prayers for the intercession of St. Michael.
We’re waiting as well......
Maybe this says something about me, but I am amazed by this. Most of these priests avoid the subject of birth control at all costs.
And the babies deserve to be murdered in their mother’s womb with a pill administered by a Catholic, too. They can even stick it in the communion wafer, and that way it’ll be transmuted into abortofacting Jesus flesh. How much fun is that?/sarc
This beyond stupid, this is truly evil...sounds more like Emperor Caligula’s government.
“Wondering where the lions are?”
They will not burn the hospitals down, they will just send their brownshirts in to take them over....this part of their objective.
Mark Steyn was filling in for Rush this morning, and he said that the Muslims are also up in arms about this... now Obama will gleefully go after the Catholics, but what do you want to bet that he will fold in no time flat when he finds out the Muslims are also against it?
Note, it is NOT just Catholics. Anyone who objects to paying for abortifacients and sterilization is affected.
If you are pro-life, you are affected.
The question is "when are WE going to make a stand"!
This isn’t just a Catholic issue. All Christians (all citizens) should stand up and say, no!
I think they are, at least beginning.
Our priest yesterday said not only no but absolutely not. He said Catholics are not going to get pushed around and that the administration had miscalculated because instead of dividing the Catholics, the issue had united them. He said Catholics will not offer such insurance and will pay the fines instead.
Does the Matthew 18:15 process of dealing with sin take place in Catholic churches?
Reaping what they’ve sown.
As a senator, Obama approved of the killing of abortion survivors. Yet Catholics cheerfully voted for him.
Where were the bishops then?
Democrat politicians can endorse murders — over 50 million of them so far — and the only scandal is when those Democrats are denied communion.
It should have been proclaimed, in the first place, that no one who advocated for a “right to abortion” should be spared excommunication.
But our clergy have been silent when it comes to “politics.” Silence is not only golden. Silence is silver.
The Church has sold out and betrayed Christ long since; and I expect it will continue to do so.
FTR: Yes, I’m Catholic.
I heard on radio today that the fine for failing to comply is 10M dollars.
Tanks or dollars?
Catholics wouldn’t be in this spot had they not voted for the One..now would they? Voted for a man who had no issue with abortions and even better, those late term, partial birth abortions.
Go STRAIGHT to Hell. Do NOT pass purgatory. Do NOT collect ANYTHING.
Satan might just invite you to sit down for a cup of tea.
The far left says the only reason we object to this administration’s policies is racism - because Obama is black. I wonder how many former Klan members and current Klan sympathizers are laughing as they vote Dem and support Obama, considering that more than a third of black babies are aborted (twice the proportion as are killed among white babies), and the Democrats are trying to make it even easier to abort these innocent children. Which side is really racist?
It would not be surprising.
The churches shouldn’t fight Obama regarding the demand by Obama’s healthcare requirement, all citizens should be demanding his resignation as he swore an oath to uphold the constitution and freedom of religion and he clearly has broken his oath.
