In order, numbers 10, 9 and 8 in a
top ten list of reasons not to vote for Obama: Solyndra. Having a wife who
keeps chiding us about our diet. And the White House manipulation of January
jobs numbers. And now for No. 7 …
Obama is trouncing the First Amendment’s
guarantee of religious freedom of expression.
A new Obamacare mandate from the
Department of Health and Human Services requires Catholic employers (not
including the churches) to offer employees health care plans that include
coverage for birth control, abortion-inducing drugs and sterilization
procedures. Catholics, of course, abstain from birth control – not to mention
abortion – based on religious reasons. And until Obama came along, businesses
with Catholic bosses were quite free to choose health care packages for
employees that did not include coverage for any of the above. Enter Obamacare.
The
Obama administration says they’re just trying to bridge a health care gap
and provide women with the services they need – yes, “need,” says David
Axelrod. They also say they’re trying to do so in a way that honors religious
beliefs. Really?
That seems an odd assertion. Just
out of curiosity, in Axelrod’s world, what would an infringement on the First
Amendment’s religion freedom look like? But the church isn’t sitting idly on
this one.
“Yesterday, the head of the Catholic
League, Bill Donohue, warned that the nation’s 70 million Catholics are ready
to go to war with the administration’s dictates, saying “Never before,
unprecedented in American history, for the federal government to line up
against the Roman Catholic Church. This is going to be fought out with
lawsuits, with court decisions and, dare I say it, maybe even in the streets.” – The
Foundry.
Wow. Forget Islam. Obama’s waging
his own religious war against Americans.
