Posted on February 9, 2012 at 6:50pmQuestion?? Do the institutions affected by this mandate receive federal or state funding?

Posted on February 9, 2012 at 2:23pmSorry, but one thing obama is not is stupid. This seemingly stupid move has nothing to do with birth control or hating Christians. This has to do with getting people riled up. Obama knows it won’t fly but if he can get people upset and in the streets and the OWS people come back….things will be ripe for a showdown….the thing he needs to clamp down, and take even more control…for the good of the people of course. WATCH THE OTHER HAND……THIS GUY IS UP TO SOMETHING!!!

Posted on February 9, 2012 at 10:37pmOf course. Republicans will take the bait, soon be seen as the anti-contraception party, and get clobbered in every way in November. Senate and House too. America will see the GOP as anti-science, anti-stem cell, anti-choice, anti-black, and anti-contaception. Doesn‘t matter if it’s true or not, that will soon be the perception. That’s what happens when you dance with the reactionary, prudish, superstious, bigoted tea-party.

Posted on February 9, 2012 at 1:59pm28 states have state laws requiring religious institutions provide contraception to employees as part of their health insurance programs. All contraception and abortion needs to be made illegal, with criminal penalties. That is the only way to make America‘s laws consistent with God’s law.

Posted on February 9, 2012 at 10:49amHarry Reid is a crook. This guy should not be in a government position. He has done more to damage this country than any other Senator in modern time. If this moron and his family dissappeared the world would be a better place.

Posted on February 9, 2012 at 10:34amEveryone is missing the real message here!!!!!
It is unconstitutional for the Federal Government to force any person or employer to provide or pay for insurance. Even if the Catholics get their exception its still unconstitutional for everyone else.
Instead of asking for an exception the church should be fighting to have this mandate eliminated for everyone.
This is the problem with our republic today, we only want to fight for the freedoms that affect us. We should be fighting for all freedoms for everyone. Even the ones we don’t agree with sometimes.

Posted on February 9, 2012 at 9:24amMy mother’s family is Catholic. For years they have endorsed many of the liberal agenda by supporting abortion-related political leadership. While it is not in keeping with faith, it is for God to judge. This new iniative by the Obama Administration however really is about “mandates”, penalties, and fines for the Catholic faith. People can minimize the importance of this issue, but our entire history as a nation was founded on religious freedom. Like healthcare, people are getting a feel of the new liberal agenda. This new control is the ground work for either abandoning our religious doctrine or the potential of taking this to the streets. The Pilgrims came to this country for the same reason, however this new type of stateism reveals our country entering a new unexplored arena with the potential of civil unrest

Posted on February 9, 2012 at 12:42pmgreat post ted ! but i think that`s what the obama add. wants. It is clear that Obama could lose his POWER and in the event of civil unrest, Obama could employ Martial Law and when that happens, “Civil Rights” go out of the “window”! I think Our response too this should be examined with a broader veiw.

Posted on February 9, 2012 at 8:14amSeems I understand the Catholic claims the Genesis Scripture then you are to go and “…replenish the earth…,” and that is their way to take control of the simple mind who follows that concept! You have to look at the good and the bad of the use of Contraceptives; good for medical reasons, bad for just having free sex.

Posted on February 9, 2012 at 9:18amThis is a no brainer. Catholic Church will win easy. Direct violation of Constitution. Obama is refusing to back away so the extreme wing of party is not mad at him. That is not leadership. This bozo is a lawyer, he knows what is right.

Posted on February 9, 2012 at 6:48amCan anyone say Seperation of Church and State? (of course using the lefts arguemen). King Obama knew that making it a law would not pass muster when it goes before the Supreme Court so now it is a mandate from DHHS by a corupt Socialist Dept head. It is an illegal mandate (like many mandates) Time for states to use the 10th Amendment and take back the power that has been stolen by government and return it to the people.
