The Whispers in the Loggia blog (WITL) has obtained a bishops-only internal briefing that was circulated soon after President Obama’s announcement of his HHS regulation “compromise.”...what follows “is the text of tonight’s internal, bishops-only briefing, obtained by Whispers and signed by the aforementioned quintet: the conference president, Cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan of New York, and the bench’s committee chairs for Pro-Life Activities, Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of Galveston-Houston; Doctrine, Cardinal Donald Wuerl of Washington; Domestic Policy, Bishop Stephen Blaire of Stockton, and the newly-formed arm on Religious Liberty, Bishop William Lori of Bridgeport.” Here is the briefing:

And I am offended sufficiently by government intrusions on our freedoms, that I was and still am opposed to Obamacare in its entirety.
Unlike these bishops, who were just fine with it until a few weeks ago when one of its millions or new rules started to affect them personally.
And they actually took that man at his word??? Were they hypnotized by him, too?
It’s simple- it isn’t free and it won’t be “free” no matter what Odumbo says. They may say it’s free, but the cost will be passed on, as always.
I think there’s actually another agenda here. It’s no accident that Planned Parenthood is exulting over this, because it is essentially a backdoor enactment of the population control plan PP has gotten the US government to fund in foreign countries all over the world.
Mandating the provision of this “service,” free of charge (although indirectly paid for by all of us), means mandating a non-medical “service” directed at social ends. Contraception is not a medical service but a means of population control and a way of eliminating the family as the base unit of our social structure.
This has long been a goal of the progressives, and reproduction (and hence family) control is a feature of every Communist dictatorship because the goal is to reduce human beings to the status of nothing more than unattached, unindividualized worker bees in the vast hive of the state.
I read somewhere in the discussion of this that Planned Parenthood will be involved in providing this “access” to contraception, and I think you’re going to see more and more of their population and social control program imposed through this stealth route.

It is in reality a sex tax levied on the drug companies but like other such taxes is paid by consumers
They have finally figured out a way to tax sex
Yes, and they are for open borders and the U.S. taxpayer subsidizing the invasion of illegal aliens.
They CHOSE to believe that Obamacare would provide "affordable" health care for everyone. They did not think through the process, the laws and every hidden clause in the bill the eventually gives the federal govt. complete control of our economy in ways we haven't seen.
The bishops, in my opinion, are complicit in Obama's take over of the country. They were too chicken to stand up to him before. Now, they want to present themselves as standing up for liberty and individual freedom. Far too little, too late.
Depends on what you understand by "written in the bill." I saw something in the past few days -- but can't find it now -- about someone who counted the number of times "as the Secretary shall determine" or some variant occurs in the ObamaCare bill. IIRC, it was maybe 500 or 600.
Even the parts of the bill I read when it was first passed stunned me with the amount that wasn't spelled out, but left to the "discretion" of the Secretary. How can you have a law that doesn't state outright what the law is? But we do.
1) Find some testicles.
2) Formally announce that any Catholic Senator or Congress critter, Governor. or Priest, etc.... that supports this is automatically ex communicated and then publicly list each and every one of them
3) Publicly announce that any Catholic that has an Obozo bumper sticker or publicly supports this @$$ hat is automatically ex communicated and then remove any priest that allows them to receive communion.
> please tell me that life and freedom matter even to atheists.
They don’t.
The typical atheist hides behind “the quality of life” as his excuse for supporting things like abortion-murder, preemptive abortion (aka “birth control”), and euthanasia.
Next to salvation through Jesus Christ, God’s greatest promise to the living is, “I shall multiply thy seed.”
Next to eternity in Hell for rejecting Jesus, God’s greatest curse to the living is, “I shall cut-off your generations.”
The Left rejects the blessings and embraces the curses.
Because they know they will pass the cost on in the form of higher premiums to the rest of us. Make no mistake we will be paying for the abortions and contraceptives of everyone that uses them.
The insurance companies won't lose one red cent or one thin dime.
Dolan to Obama: “Shove it!”
Adam is men
Eve is women
Abortion is the forbidden fruit
Obama is the serpent
The garden of Eden is our religious morals.
Except in this case we are voluntarily leaving the garden of Eden.
Just resist, dammit. They can’t jail you all.
To state it in the vernacular, "That dog don't hunt."

While everyone was focused on Obama's little word-games, .gov released regs yesterday afternoon...
Not only that but there are Catholic based insurance companies.
If Justice Kennedy does not vote to strike down Obamacare, then there must be civil unrest.
