An
abortion in every pot
[Health plans
ordered to cover birth control without co-pays by Julian Pecquet] "Most
healthcare plans will be required to cover birth control without charging
co-pays or deductibles starting Aug. 1, the Obama administration announced
Friday.
The final regulation retains the approach federal health officials proposed last
summer, despite the deluge of complaints from religious groups and congressional
Republicans that has poured in since then. Churches, synagogues and other houses
of worship are exempt from the requirement, but religious-affiliated hospitals
and universities only get a one-year delay and must comply by Aug. 1, 2013.
This decision was made after very careful consideration, including the
important concerns some have raised about religious liberty, Health and Human
Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a statement. I believe this
proposal strikes the appropriate balance between respecting religious freedom
and increasing access to important preventive services."
Congressional Republicans slammed the decision as an assault on religious
freedom.
"This ruling forces religious organizations to violate the fundamental tenets of
their faith, or stop offering health insurance coverage to their employees,"
said the Republican Policy Committee. "Time will tell whether those institutions
choose the former or the latter course but neither option should be necessary,
if the administration had not taken such an unbending approach to appease its
liberal base."
Access to birth control is the most controversial aspect of the healthcare
reform law's preventive care provisions, which require plans to cover such care
without co-pays and deductibles. The assumption is that such coverage will
prevent people from getting sick and keep healthcare costs down.
The provision has attracted more than 200,000 comments, HHS said most of them
in favor of access to birth control, which the vast majority of healthcare plans
already cover. Some religious institutions, however, said they would sooner
close their doors than cover birth control, which they liken to abortion in some
cases.
"What war and disease could not do to the congregation, the government of the
United States will do," Nashville's Dominican congregation said. "It will shut
them down..." Full text:

Response to comment [from a
Catholic]: "Yet another government infringement upon religious liberty. Soon the
sermons in churches will be monitored here, as they are in other places."

Obama's contraception mandate outrages religious groups
Response to
comment [from a Jew]: "Contraceptives prevent abortions. Don't you dimwit
anti-choicers get this simple fact?"
Some
contraceptives murder babies. Don't you anti-lifers get that? Pr 8:36.
"It's not a baby until it's born."
Are you going
to say that to Jesus when you meet him face to face?
Jer 1:5,
Re 7:9. Mary was with
child--not with a blob of tissue (Lk
2:5).
"No pill can "murder" a baby."
Plan B can kill
a fetus (child).
"Pro-choicers are NOT "anti-life".
You chose
"anti...". We love choice (Jn
8:36).
We hate babies being murdered (Pr
8:36).
Response to comment [from a Jew]:
[Plan B] "Even if it caused the lining of the uterus to shed so implantation
wasn't possible that isn't killing and it isn't a fetus. It's a blastocyst. This
does not look like a fetus to me..."
You keep
telling yourself that (Pr
8:36,
Re 22:11).
Mary was with child--not with a blob of tissue (Lk
2:5). Abortifacients kill children.
Response to comment [from a Jew]:
"Can you not discuss this logically?..."
God calls the
child a child from fertilization (Lk 2:5).
Call him/her a hippo if you'd like (Re 22:11). Payday someday (Pr 8:36).

Ex 23:2, Ac 5:29] "Seems that, at least in this, you might have to give
Catholics credit?"
It is right to
support personhood and freedom of religion.
A broken clock is right twice a day (Ga 5:9).
Didn't your bishops
ask for these big government
programs?

Response to comment [from a
Christian]: "I don't understand this law when the Catholics are against birth
control or at least what I heard from the pope."
Dictators
attempt to override God's law not U.S. Presidents.
Laws come from God not man (Ac
5:29). This is about protecting sexual sin (Mt
15:19).

Response to comment [from a
Buddhist]: "So, abortions are just fine as long as they require a co-pay? (Read:
fornication-tax)."
You vil kill ze
babies and you vil love it (Pr
8:36).
Does your God-given conscience (Ps
40:8) needs re-educating?
We are going to fundamentally transform
your heart (Isa

Response to comment [from a
Christian]: "Can anyone tell us the basic political reason for this new law?
Seems like someone is looking for a place to put the political problems of
abortion on religious sects so that they can remove it from healthcare."

"I don't want to get into the end
time conversations."
They come to:
steal, kill and destroy. What don't you get? Jn 10:10.
"Can anyone give us a technical
political reason why the government wants to make the Catholic hospitals provide
birth control to those that ask for it? And what does it have to do with
abortion and is it an attempt to fix the healthcare loopholes."
Catholics have
trained their hearts to obey man not God (Ac
5:29). How many will stand for righteousness?
Rev. 3:1422. They don't
even stand against their false teaching pope (Ga
1:6-8,
Mt 15:9).
They'll act pious
for a while but they'll get over it.
Re 13:17
"Can one explain it like the news
would. The news wouldn't say they come to steal, kill and destroy all of us and
we're doomed and run for you're lives right now..."
Watch Fox News.
They'll tell you everything you need to know.
Response to comment [from a
Christian]: "...[A]nd that it gets one more votes from those that agree with
taking away religious freedoms than it loses from those that disagree with it."
The masses will
decide the election (Ex 23:2).
God puts leaders in their place (Ro 13:1). Sometimes people
get the leader they deserve.
Response to comment [from a Christia]:
"This is my ticket not to vote. Thanks. I'm skipp'in this time. Politics split
families."
You need to
vote--
if you are on the right (Eccl
10:2)--if you are on the Left
stay home.
"I thought you said Christians
shouldn't vote."

Bout Willis?"

Of course you should vote. Write a candidate in if you must (like Alan Keyes)
but make your voice known. Your vote is counted somewhere. If nothing
else, they'll see that GOP
did not get your vote this go around. If they keep giving us liberals,
they will keep losing the support of people like you. God puts people in power
for his plans and purposes (Ro
13:1) but I think he'd still like to see you do
the right thing.
*Barbie--
that's a black man--don't be afraid.
"Ok, who should I vote
for?"
We have to see
what our choices will be.
Who do you think will get the GOP
nomination?
Response to comment [from a
Catholic]: "Looks like a
"good" Catholic...Santorum."
You're not "good" (Ro
3:12).
Santorum has some esplainin' to do.
If New York doesn't want sodomy laws, if the people of New York want abortion,
fine. I mean, I wouldn't agree with it, but that's their right. But I don't
agree with the Supreme Court coming in. ~ Rick Santorum
"Looks like Santorum follows God.
God allowed Sodom and Gomorrah to use their rights to do as they wanted. I guess
we'll await His judgment on NY."
Until then
sodomy is a state's issue?
You can lynch blacks in Mississippi but not in California.
You can kill a Jew in Illinois but not in New York.
Homosexuality is a crime (Lev.
20:13). Laws come from God (Mt
