Didn’t he give Muslims a blanket waiver?

Hopefully that little denial of Equal Protection will help end this beast also.

President Barack Obama reiterated his support for the HHS birth control mandate, this time adding it’s “not fair” that a woman working for a Catholic institution should “bear the burden and the cost” of paying for her own contraception.

Life isn’t fair. If it was you would not be President!

Mr. President...dude, what are you, five?

[Da Coyote]

I humbly request that the Obamadork state whether or not Muslims have to fund abortion.

Tick....tick....tick.....

“But we did say that big Catholic hospitals or universities who employ a lot of non-Catholics and who receive a lot of federal money, that for them to be in a position to say to a woman who works there you can’t get that from your insurance company even though the institution isn’t paying for it, that that crosses the line where that woman, she suddenly is gonna have to bear the burden and the cost of that. And that’s not fair,” Obama stated.

Where does Ubama think that feral money came from?

It came from the same people who don't want to fund his abortifacient wet dreams.

You know, if this was not The President but just some dork on the playground whining that everything was “not fair” he would be getting pantsed every day and probably beat up by girls

Well, I don’t think it is fair that muzlims are exempt from paying for this crap but Christians will have to foot the bill for those animals.

UNCLE....I'm crying UNCLE!! I give up.....Democrats have now convinced me of what they have been Preaching for decades......BLACKS and WOMEN CANNOT TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES....they are NOT CAPABLE, they are NOT SMART ENOUGH TO TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES!!!

OK, I'm falling in line with what Democrats believe and say....BLACKS AND WOMEN ARE STUPID PETS THAT NEED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF.....GOT IT!!

Yo, Bamster: neither will Muslims.

[Vince Ferrer]

According to Roberts the mandate is a tax, and most Catholic institutions are tax exempt, so good luck collecting.

Didn’t he give Muslims a blanket waiver?

Hopefully that little denial of Equal Protection will help end this beast of a law.

My GF works for a Catholic hospital.Here is their policy.

They DO NOT cover BC at the hospital pharmacy for the employees (They prefer employees buy their r/x from the hospital if possible-give lower copays etc as an incentive).

The hospital does cover BC at outside Brand X pharmacies such as Wal-mart.

she suddenly is gonna have to bear the burden and the cost of that. And that’s not fair,” Obama stated.

Oh, the HORROR!! Having to pay for her own stuff? That is too cruel! That's inhumane!

Obama ought to raise taxes on those making more than $250,000 so that Julia can get her free stuff. Oh, wait...

[Berlin_Freeper]

that woman, she suddenly is gonna have to bear the burden and the cost of that.

Boo-hoo?

[MrB]

Your post assumes that the court would strike it down based on a violation of equal protection.

We’ve already seen that the “jury box of liberty” is closed.

[Talisker]

Mr. President...dude, what are you, five?

It's worse than that.

[MrB]

If it starts to affect you/me,

look into the Christian health sharing ministries.

Somehow, this exemption got left in the law. Members of these health sharing ministries are exempt from the mandate.

However, we’ll all be affected by the lack of supply of medical services due the socialization of the system.
