Religious-based groups can't be forced to violate their conscience regarding abortion.
That same logic should seem to cover businesses and homosexual wedding cakes, but it doesn't.
USSC vs. Pen and Phone
The courts can’t tell the emperor what to do...
Or, how many guns & bullets does the USSC have compared to the executive branch.
Obama’s full on lawless, don’t discount him just using force to impose his will regardless of the court or the law.
This is how Catholic Charities lost a similar case in California when it came to a state government mandate involving contraception and/or same-sex "marriage." The court applied a very objective set of standards, and determined that Catholic Charities didn't meet even a bare minimum standard for a "religious-based group." The court basically ruled that the group is a large non-profit business operation with no religious foundation at all.
This is satire, right? Surely, the Supreme Court wouldn’t overrule The Won.
Obama has long ago passed the point where he should have been impeached and removed. He has no regard for the constitution, the legislative process, or the separation of powers. He is a de facto dictator who does what he wants with his pen and phone. Unfortunately, the “Republican controlled” congress is unwilling to do what is right.
I hope we can avoid a second civil war, but eventually people are going to start asking how many guns & bullets does the executive branch have compared to the people. The thug in our White House does not have the power to compel people to obey him, not without voluntary cooperation. Given the shocking level of evil in his demands that people violate their religious convictions to pay for birth control and abortion, Dear Leader has lost all legitimacy and now rules only through fear - a fear that may fade over time.
The thug in our White House does not have the power to compel people to obey him, not without voluntary cooperation.
The gov’t in general has lost its authoritative legitimacy and now only governs through force because the people don’t physically resist.
Drats! Foiled again.
And that is why the 1st Amendment has “...or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...” included, when referring to ones religion.
Unfortunately, our current President, and even some of the current Supreme Court members, do not understand this very simple, straight forward, plain language.
BUT CONSIDER THIS. Dems are gleefully lying-in wait---and are baiting Republicans into impeaching Obama----b/c they know "evil Republicans" impeaching Obama would immediately turn loser Democrats into "victims."
Hillary would sail to victory------posing as an "unfortunate helpless woman" subjugated by sexist Republican men."
Shameless Democrats make their political fortunes as "victims"....and attaching themselves to voting blocs they make into "victims."
Oxytocin is that feel good hormone that bonds a child to his or her mother. But never mind that. Researchers in Hawaii are recruiting girls as young as 14 to participate in second trimester abortions, where the preborn baby is 18-24 weeks gestation, in order to test whether or not oxytocin can reduce bleeding in mothers during and after abortion. The study is being conducted by the University of Hawaii and the University of Washington in Seattle both public universities, which leads to the obvious question: is the government funding this study?
"John Marshall has made his decision: now let him enforce it ..."
His agencies already admit they follow his rules, not the law.

Oh, they understand it just fine.
They reject it and refuse to comply with it.
They are revolutionaries. The “old order” does not apply to them, neither will they enforce it. It is only useful insomuch as they can torture it to justify their own ends.
“But they are sworn to uphold it,” you say.
What does an oath mean to an atheist?
Unfortunately the real victim is the country. I agree with a lot of what you say but it is very frustrating to watch the Republicans do absolutely nothing while Obama goes about taking the country down. I’m just afraid that he is going to push the envelope even further during the time remaining in his term. He can do a lot more damage in that relatively short time.
That is why I ceased giving money to CC long ago. Some CC money has gone to Planned Parenthood, even.
BTTT!
