Gee, I wonder what the ELCA thinks about this?
Obama thanks Notre Dame for endorsement
Just reminder, it is a diktat, not a law.
Article 1 Section 1 . . . Congress has legislative power . . . not HHS.
I am all over my Congressional delegation whenever a petty dictator does this or similar, IOW quite often.

This is almost completely unanimous. There are only a very few bishops who haven’t put out a statement, regardless of the fact that some of them are at the Vatican for their Ad Limina meetings, and one is in the hospital very ill.
Every single one in the North Central/Midwest area has been very clear and very vocal on this issue.
A president cannot vote a bill into law by himself. It’s important to remember this.
We have three branches of government as every one who grew up before the schools hit the dump knows: legislative, executive and judicial. The legislative branch makes laws. In this case, Obamacare has this gaping whole that allows the executive branch to pretend they’re making laws, and that’s one of the biggest reasons it’s unconstitutional. IT allows the 1st amendment to be overrun by the executive branch.
It needs to be FIXED in a big way. MY suggestion? Repeal it and run the remains through the shredder and down the crapper. That’s where it belonged from the start and more than half the American people knew it all along!
