WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is announcing a broader opt-out for religious nonprofits that object to providing health insurance that covers birth control.
The administration is allowing religious nonprofits to offer coverage that does not include contraception. In such a case, a third-party issuer will handle all business related to providing birth-control coverage for women, according to a source familiar with the changes who spoke only on condition of anonymity.

But if you make evil profits, you have to pay your employees to abort, even if your church tells you are abetting murder.
I haven't seen the details, but I'm guessing it adds another layer between the employer and the insurer, so it looks more "distant", although the end result is the same, the employer is paying for the services.
Since Congress decided to punt the ball the last 4 years and will follow the same game plan for the next 4 years.

Robbing Peter to kill Paul.
Still all “smoke and mirrors,” just like before.
And what about For-Profits run by real Christians? (Or does “for-profit” make them second-class citizens?)
Most of the law gave Administrative Branch entities to write the law and fill in the details.
In other works, a stack of blank, signed checks.
So, this is the "it" that we had find out was in this law once we passed it.
Free birth control is the one good thing about Obamacare. Less unwanted babies means less abortions, less demand on welfare, lower crime rate.
Birth control should be given away on street corners, it should be a mist in the air in high schools, it should be spiked in mountain dew and sunny delight... In 15 years we’d live in a utopia.
Exactly. They passed a fill in the blank law where the Administration could fill in the blanks.
Dictators akin to Hitler and Obama don’t need legislatures.
If anyone other than the religious organization buys a rider to the woman’s policy for her, then I have no problem with it BEYOND my normal problem with government telling us what to do, to buy, to think AND buying stuff for people who won’t work.

I think the law was written with a clause that allows the Obama administration to change the participation requirements as it sees fit.
- Allowing exemptions as they see fit based on political donations, religious belief, union affiliation, congressional district (firms in close race districts get extra allowances.)
(Not really, but that is how it seems to be operating.)

....people say to me, "But the early Church didn't practice civil disobedience." Didn't they? You don't know your history again. When those Christians that we all talk about so much allowed themselves to be thrown into the arena, when they did that, from their view it was a religious thing. They would not worship anything except the living God. But you must recognize from the side of the Roman state, there was nothing religious about it at all -- it was purely civil. The Roman Empire had disintegrated until the only unity it had was its worship of Caesar. You could be an atheist; you could worship the Zoroastrian religion... You could do anything. They didn't care. It was a civil matter, and when those Christians stood up there and refused to worship Caesar, from the side of the state, they were rebels. They were in civil disobedience and they were thrown to the beasts.
