It is my opinion that the Bishops should continue their battle. Obama is using smoke, mirrors and bs.
The first offer was: fertility-toxic and baby-toxic drugs for all with no co-pays, and you-all will pay for it, via insurance.

Many bishop's remarks against this have been strong --- they are not, I am sorry to say, nearly strong enough.
The problem is not “just” that the HHS mandate will be funded by religious organizations, which is brutally offensive in itself. But even worse is that any, each, and all of us are being forced in exactly the way. Connie Sulkowski who runs a real estate office, and Tony Rios who owns a couple of restaurants, and Chuck Schmidt who employs a workforce of 50 in his printing plant. They should not be forced to euthanize their consciences to subsidize products and services they find morally repugnant.
The fact is that every person legally resident in America (with a few sharia compliant exceptions) will be required, like it or not, to purchase services that are ethically corrupt. To cover them 100% without co-pay. And we will have no alternative except coercive penalties (fines) and, if it comes to that, imprisonment.
The underlying issue isn’t even birth control. It’s Total control --- Total State Control --- of our bodies and our souls.
It’s not just the separation of Church and State. It’s the separation of moral choice from real life.
Obamacare is totalitarian, and it has to go. The whole thing. That is what the bishops should be saying.
