Wow! I was not aware that the date of implementation for religious institutions has been put back with all the other people. In other words, for daring to challenge his Majesty, the Messiah, P-Bo, the church has no been chastized by loosing the initial waiver of one year.
This is interesting, and it may be a serious mistake! This means that the RC church and all other faith-based institutions are now on schedule to implement this as soon as Aug. 2012 - only 5 months away! I hope the uproar is heard around the world!
Technically, the Church is not “implementing” it - the insurance companies are. The Church is automatically “opted in” by virtue of the law.
The insurance companies, however, will use money paid by the Church (and any policy holders, for that matter) to buy abortifacients and contraception for individuals. The Church cannot abide even indirect cooperation with evil, and as such this speaks to the issue of the religious liberty.
In a more innocuous example, this would be the equivalent of requiring the Church to donate a portion of its tithes to pay for the limousine that takes Barney Frank to his homosexual trysts.
