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.
You’re assuming that the Catholics that voted democrat view Catholic doctrine to be superior to liberal humanist doctrine.
Are you certain that that’s a correct assumption?
“we should all hang together lest we hang separately”
Perhaps we are viewing the working definition of a cino, eh?
Good luck with that defense.
The coal industry is finding that govt regulation has a way of superseding any existing legal structure.
I just recognize that Obama won’t wait for anyone. He’ll push through whatever is on his nearly non-existent mind.
I do generally understand your logic, and I think you’ve got a good basis for your premise.
Trouble is this will affect Baptist hospitals and schools as well as other Evangelical Christian organizations.
I understand your frustration with the RCC and it's liberal majority. However, 7 day a week Christians end up paying the price.
We’re a Catholic school, funded by Catholic parishioners. Do you really think we would shut down our mission even if Obama declared us to be enemies of the state?
It HAS been done before.
We are ready for him to attack us and we are prepared. Obama will not last forever.
Diocletian himself only lasted 10 years. We survived then, we will survive now. Insofar as the parish is willing to help us meet with expenses and insofar as we are able to self-fund, we can resist for a long time.
I figure he’s got about 7 years to go after he decides to crack down...
The solution was to vote for the Mormon who endorsed both gay marriage and signed Romneycare into MA?
The problem isn’t that the Church failed to attack Obama - the problem is that Republicans have failed the Church.
I do not see how electing a pro abortion Mormon is superior to the Kenyan, except that the Kenyan preserves a party of resistance.
You mean the Catholics who contracept, abort, sodomize, commit sacrilege, and can’t bother to come to Church? The ones in a perpetual state of mortal sin? Those Catholics?
They vote for devils because they are most comfortable in the company of them. Angels make them squirm.
Answer”
NO!!!
The old head in the sand thing.
:-(
Forget Freedom of Religion or The Constitution! The emperor has decreed it so!
The Mormon would not be forcing us to pay for this stuff. I thought that was pretty clear.
Get over your paranoia. Growing up in Wisconsin as a Lutheran, I got my ration of crap from Roman Catholics. I got over it. You better, too!
This one is rather mild, but the essential message is there.
If a few certain posters show up, the hatemeter will rise significantly.
Have a great weekend!
The Mormon forced us to pay for this in MA!
Seig Heil!
It was some time ago when I read it. I think here at FR.
