I can't believe Fox News didn't pick up on the point all weekend that premiums are paid by religious institutions, insurance companies pass on the cost of things they cover to consumers, and, therefore, the Catholic religious organization consumers will still be funding contraception and abortion. I was yelling at my TV all weekend, when even the conservative commentators didn't talk about this.
My pastor raised this issue at the end of Mass on Sunday, calling Obama's accommodation, "no compromise at all", reminding parishioners of the Church's position on contraception, and warning them that this is just the start of increasing infringements of our religious freedom, if we allow Obama to do this. God bless him!
This is pretty fundamentally clear. Is it not?
With a portion of the Catholic institutions, there are no paid external insurance companies- some self insure.
The blood trail will lead a long way through the trackless wood (metaphorically), which will be fine, as long as the outcome is, new President in 2013.
