What would Diedrich Bonhoeffer have to say about the HHS mandate? Eric Metaxas–best selling author of the biographies on William Wilberforce and Bonhoeffer:Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy gives us some insight in this 2 minute video that explains the real issue behind the HHS Mandate: Religious liberty.

He’s joined by economist Jennifer Roback Morse, a Catholic economist and founder and president of the Ruth Institute. The short video distills the fact that opposition to HHS Mandate is not about the morality of contraception or even abortion. It is about religious liberty and maintaing the freedom of religion that our Founders realized was so important to a free society.

I honestly think that not enough people are YET sufficiently awake to this gargantuan attack on our most important freedom.

"I honestly think that not enough people are YET sufficiently awake to this gargantuan attack on our most important freedom."

Whether one calls it the "most important freedom" or something else, America's Founders knew that the "rights of conscience," which includes freedom for religion, is one of the necessary supports for preserving Creator-endowed individual liberty.

What so-called "progressives" seem to overlook is the fact that when one of the supports is destroyed, the entire framework is in danger of falling.

True that! And a ping with a suggestion that Mrs. D post linkage to our rally website.
