If Obama gives a waiver will the uproar cease? Or will it have legs?
He should have Pelosi speak about it some more.
People just love her.
Almost every article about this issue calls it a “birth control” issue. While it does concern birth control, it also is about abortion and the “morning after pill” which is abortion.
Never fear, the media will be in CYA mode. “Nothing to see here, move along”.
The peasants are getting angry ... der 0berFuhrer Emperor Hussein 0bama’s unconstitutional muslim edicts don’t set well!
More appropriate title: Obama and his socialist minions refuse to refrain from trampling on Americans’ religious freedom in defiance of the Constitution.
I hope 0bama tries to defend this one for a while; he needs to not back down too quickly. Let those with torches and pitchforks gather, and let it be timed such that the rest don’t forget in November.
My fear is that this issue is like the football team that scores the go-ahead touchdown with 2:34 left to play. They leave too much time on the clock. I want to see 0bama cave with only 0:04 on the clock.
It is time to separate the State of Obamanation from the United States of America, by IMPEACHING their Constitution-Bashing Leader Obama.
Arrogant and sneering Dictator , (in his own mind), Obama tees off all those who put Country above politics.
What becomes of the controversy??
Probably Planned Parenthood will set up offices in every school & college in every town in the USA.
Rochester NY high schools are now giving out condoms.
Oh, one other point. The whole concept of “waivers” granted by the Executive branch is completely incompatible with the Rule of Law. Just more proof that the constitution is a dead letter.
The notion that Obama can simply issue a “waiver” is almost as upsetting as the rule itself. What part of the balance of powers does this jerk not understand? Hussein cannot make law, and he cannot apply the law unevenly. The Affordable Healthcare Act is law, and Hussein is bound by it, or get the Congress to repeal the law. Better yet, repeal the law at the same time you ride his sorry butt out of town on a rail, covered with tar and feathers.
Obama passed this regulation to rally his base. He absolutely needs his base unified and enthusiastic if he hopes to win reelection. He cannot risk alienating his base by “backing down”. Yet if his internal polls are detecting some erosion of support due to this decision, it will be necessary to find a solution. Look for this “rule” once published to be brought before some accommodating federal judge. The judge will do Obama a huge service by declaring the rule “void” for some obscure reason. The base will be notified that the real “tragedy”would be if Obama loses the election. The Obama justice dept. will then not challenge the ruling. End result no back down, no rule , Catholics mollified, base intact,get on with the election.
It's NOT about "birth control." It never was.
It's about Freedom of Religion!
It's about governmental usurpation of our God-given rights.

The one thing that may save him will be if the Supremes toss Obamacare in it’s entirety this summer, rendering these policies moot.
Irony, the Mark of Quality Literature.

The thing that I see missing is all this is what about the RIGHTS OF ALL EMPLOYERS (not merely religious institutions).
Why should a Roman Catholic hospital be exempt from going against conscience, and individual employers are not?
Why should an evangelical, or Roman Catholic, or heck, and atheist, business owner be forced to pay for services of any kind—especially if he (alone...as he is paying the bill...) considers them unethical?
So now religious GROUPS are more free in their conscience than individuals? What kind of 1st Amendment protection is that—which leaves individuals out?
"I am dumbfounded that in the year 2012 we still are fighting about birth control," said Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York"It is sad that we have to stand here yet again to fight back against another overreach and intrusion on women's lives," said Gillibrand, a Catholic. "The power to decide whether or not to use contraception lies with a woman, not her boss."
Dolan urges Obama to back down on birth control
And I am dumfounded at her ignorance of the faith she claims to embrace.
