The new health care legislation, HHS, seeks to force church institutions to buy contraceptives, including drugs that can disrupt an existing pregnancy, through insurance they offer their own employees. This is part of HHS's anticipated list of preventative services for women that private insurance programs must provide under the new health reform law.

In the article it mentions free health clinics, like the one in Pittsburg that will soon close down rather than violate theological teachings.

So what say you? Is the fascist Obama dictatorship seeking to squash all liberties known to man in the right here or is it the Catholic church? 😛

Maybe the Church's beliefs are so backwards they don't belong in modern medical business. It's more important to me that women's medical needs be covered than preventing the Pope's feathers from getting ruffled.

I may be completely off base, but last time I looked, Catholics included a lot of women, not just the Pope. And there is a little thing called the 1st amendment.

Maybe Obama's beliefs are so contrary to American liberty that he should be escorted to the border.....where he can walk back across unmolested, that is.

The vast majority of Catholic women in the US have used artificial contraception at one point or another during their lives.

If the church thinks that the regulations violate the 1st Amendment, they can go to court. I doubt they will be successful; the regulations exempt true religious entities like churches.

I'm sure the DC stooges appointed in the judicial system will protect the rights of the church just like they do the Moroms in Utah who wish to marry more than one wife.

Catholics include a lot of women who can all choose for themselves whether or not they use birth control.

I don't believe in exemptions from the law on the basis of religion.

The Church has no rights.

I don't know what the vast majority of Catholic women do.

You got that right.

Then again, what if the church were gay? 😛
