Obama's Interference in Religious Freedom? - Discuss

That's the solution then, massive layoffs and only cater to only Catholics, then you can slide pass this new imposed HHS mandate, which like all State directives can be updated to whatever State policy it seems an ideological fit. Seriously.
That would be like denying support to RCC charities in the context of human trafficking because they don't refer the victims to abortion services.
Oh wait - they've already done that.
This mandate is play for electoral reasons to placitate their base for the coming elections. What they did not expect was the degree and passion of RCC response to this interference with their constitutional rights.

The RCC hierarchy has responded passionately. Given that over 90% of Catholic women in the US has used some birth control, the response from the faithful has been a bit different - people are torn, but the response of Congressman Issa - to hold Congressional hearings that did not include any women - did little to address the concerns that this was yet again another case of men trying to tell women what to do with their bodies - or for that matter, couples who are trying to engage in sensible family planning through the use of birth control.
