If you don't want private institutions to have to follow any federal standard, urge your elected representation to pass legislation on that.

But that isn't going to happen, and until it does, nothing is going to change.

BTW, those laws have been on the books for a lot longer then President Obama has been in office.

The healthcare law mandates that all employers provide healthcare with the OPTION of getting contraception.

No one is forcing anyone to take anything. And its hardly a religious war.

TYPICAL - the Far Right professes that government should stay out of their lives, but any hint of allowing CHOICE of something they don't like is something to oppose.

I have to laugh at all this "war on religion" crap I hear, except that there seem to be a lot of people who actually believe it. Get over it folks, stop being a closed minded lemming to the crazy religious right.

I just love this. There is no "choice" for religious institutions because is trying to dictate his will. This is the ULTIMATE in government interference that the courts will likely strike down...AGAIN.

Always have a choice NOT to work for a religious entity that you KNOW is against contraception, abortion bills and sterilization.

See, religious hospitals agree to take all who are in need, they don't care that you're not of their particular religion.

A great point here; obama's war on the poor.

RealClearPolitics - Obama's Assault on the Poor

Just look at ALL Catholic charities, hospitals, churches, organizations do for the poor. Obama puts all that at risk.

Quote:
Much of this good work -- and similar work across the country -- is now threatened. If federal policies make it impossible for religious nonprofits and hospitals to work in conjunction with federal, state and local agencies in providing social services, millions of poor and vulnerable Americans -- Catholic and non-Catholic, religious and nonreligious -- would suffer.

All because Obama seems determined to establish secularism as a state religion.
Typical radical leftist that he is.

Again I ask - has there EVER been a president as divisive as this one? He is being challenged right and left on a host of issues because of his desire to fundamentally "transform" this nation into a leftist/socialist state.

Obama a radical leftist??? Yeah...right. Put away the right wing talking point playbook...and while you are at it, the fire and brimstone religious hooey is a bit stale as well. Speaking of stale...I cannot believe I am contributing to keeping this thread alive...YAWN...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

You have yet to comment on the fact that Romney supports the exact same position as Obama in your op. How will this cost Obama votes, if we tell the whole story?

Oh that's right, you never tell the whole story, just what suits you and the grand ole party.
