Obama's Final Word: Catholics Must Buy/Provide Coverage for Abortion Drugs
Cybercast News Service ^ | 6/28/2013 | Terence P. Jeffrey

Posted on 06/28/2013 11:47:53 AM PDT by markomalley

The Department of Health and Human Services today released the final text of the final adjustments to the Obamacare regulation that requires virtually all health-care plans to provide cost-free coverage for sterilizations, contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs.

Catholics and Evangelical Christians have objected to the regulation, arguing that it violates their First Amendment right to the free exercise of religion. The Catholic Church teaches that sterilization, contraception and abortion are all intrinsically immoral. Evangelical Christians believe that abortion takes an innocent human life and is thus wrong.

The final regulation issued today provides no accommodations at all for individual Catholics and other Christians who morally object to the mandate. It also makes no accommodations for private for-profit employers who morally object to the mandate. Catholic and other Christian individuals in the United States will now be forced by the Obama administration to get coverage for sterilizations, contraceptives and abortion--whether they want it or not.

The Obama administration's mandate says: They have no choice.

Here we have the federal government threating private businesses with massive fines for not providing birth control coverage, and here in Washington State the attorney general is suing a woman who declined to provide services for a lesbian wedding. There is only one word for this - fascism. It has destroyed my family. I told my sister and brother-in-law - who support this stuff - that I will no longer attend family events.

"Notice that those who practice Islam are not included. They got a waver."

That would not surprise me, but I don't see it in the article - can you provide a source?

Has Obama established/created a new religion?
He didn't like the Catholic religion so he ordered it to be changed into a religion that he approves of.

My Final Word, NO!!!

I will not, do what you will, or what you can. No mater what my Final Word is NO.

You can pass a law, send the cops, hold your breath till you turn blue, I still will not do what you want.

What part of NO do you not understand??

To see what might be in store for us, I recommend Bruce Bawer’s “While Europe Slept.” The focus is on creeping Islamism in Europe, but it touches on wider issues. Notice - Bawer is a gay liberal, but he has retained a sense of respect for the Constitution, free speech, and human rights in general.

What do you call someone who says, “they had it coming” and sides with the administration over their enemies?

No one here has done that. "Sieg heil" was obvious sarcasm.

State decides accreditation. Maybe in blue states but not here. We receive no tax benefits so we are immune to the IRS.

As far as I can see the Catholics are getting what they deserve for voting the liberal ticket . Maybe if they got behind a conservatuive ticket they might win, once we clean out the SurpremeCourt.

I give it twelve months...

At times it seems like that, but if we look at Europe the decline is generational. Each generation becomes more dependent on govt and is taught to look to govt for a final decision on all things. We are following the same path.
