Do you have a link to that info.? It would definitely be a good thing to have handy as a reference when spreading the word about this. [I will go look it up on Google when I have time later, just thought maybe you might have it handy. Thanks.]

Actually this is really excellent (and I’m not Baptist):
Why would the Obama administration do this? Are they that tone deaf to peoples feelings? Or are they so ideologically driven that they are going to force this issue based on their ideology?
He thinks it is ideological, Land said.
He doesnt think Obama can claim stupidity as an excuse, Land said, citing reports that Vice President Joe Biden and former Chief of Staff William Daley warned the president it would be a mistake.
Obama listened to the female ideologues in his White House staff who were arguing what has been consistently argued by the Obama administration. That is that sexual rights trump religious rights, Land said.
As an example of this pattern, Land pointed to the presidents recess appointment of Chai Feldblum to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, because she was too radical to gain Senate confirmation. He cited Feldblums support for favoring gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered rights when they collide with religious freedom rights.
Well, similarly, the Obama administration is arguing that their belief that a womans right to have contraception and abortifacients paid for as part of her health services trumps the religious freedom and conscience concerns of Catholics and other Christians, Land said. So it is typical of their elevation of sexual rights. It is typical of their diminution of religious freedom rights.
This is part and parcel of their decision to go forward in attacking the ministerial exemption hiring clause to religiously affiliated institutions, he said. Their position was so radical that they had a nine to nothing Supreme Court ruling against them [in January from a court that included two of Obamas own nominees].
