As far as being “un-American”,
we shouldn’t expect anything else from someone that has no loyalty to the concept of America in the first place.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
-1st Amendment of the US Constitution
Obama carried the Catholic vote in 2008. He'll probably carry it again.

This law isn't conditioned on taking gov't money or exemptions -- it applies to every employer.

well, 1st the Church, should give back the 501(c)3 EXEMPTIONS...thats what gets them this kind of trouble when they excepted(sic)
them they give the govrnment(sic)
the green light to TELL them what to say and how to conduct business! Dont cha think?I think you should brush up on your history and learn exactly why the state granted the Church its exemption; it predates the Republic, which it didn't ask for, to begin with.
You might start by reading Walz vs. Tax Commission of the City of New York and work backwards.

I ask what the WSJ asks: Why is birth control covered by insurance at all?

Help me understand the liberals reasoning.
Abortion is a religious, moral decision best left between a woman, her god and her doctor... so it MUST therefore be legalized. (Roe vs. Wade)
A Cross on public land is an endorsement of religious, moral views, so therefore it MUST be made illegal, and removed at taxpayer expense.
Taxpayers who oppose abortion or birth control on religious or moral grounds do not have a say in how their tax dollars are spent, and MUST pay for things that explicitly violate their private, moral views.
What am I missing here?

He is a tweaker. Create an uproar and see how it plays out. He keeps doing this to upset the voters so he can pull out the stops and declare the suspension of the Constitution. That is why he is absolutely unconcerned about losing in November. He will make a proclamation of national importance. His regal leadership/ruling. Please note, he calls himself a ruler, not a leader.

Notice Biden is silent. I wonder how the other Catholics in the administration feel?
To: Mrs. Don-o
Why is the Church so agitated, the liberal press asks? After all, the majority of Catholic women use some form of contraception... [snip]The answer is that Obamas diktat violates the American principle of freedom of conscience.
This issue is of course primarily about freedom but is usually framed as being about "birth control". Birth control tends to bring ho-hum responses from most Americans. Let's stress what this is about after the primary concern of loss of freedom and that is abortion and sterilization and that is not "birth control", which also must be covered under Obama's plan. A lot more "religious" people besides Catholics would object to that.
I am Baptist and Baptists have hospitals, as well as Methodists, Lutherans, Jewish and other religions and those organizations, which still officially object to abortions, have employees which will be affected by this monstrosity too.
It's time for all Christians and Jews to unite to fight our common enemy, which is evil, personified by Obama and his minions.
