You are right. It is something for the people, not against religion. Leave it to the lame to make it something it isn't for their own personal agenda.... which apparently is against the people.

White house leak.

Insurance companies in the United States must provide this coverage. So Catholic institutions, if they supply insurance will have no choice.

Cover your employees in the United States, it will include contraception coverage. Period. You can't buy insurance in these United States that won't cover contraception.

You always have the option of not providing any coverage.

Amen!

Makes me wonder why such people overflowing with religiosity would need to trust in insurance more than in God.

Even if birth control is covered, you aren't required to use it. What if prenatal care is covered? Should we cut that out of the coverage too because some of the church's members might not be married and it is against their religion to have children out of wedlock?

You've noticed that too? They would pretend to not see it even if it was tatooed on the inside of their eyelids. It really warrants a thread of its own.

Well it really started in the 80's (possibly sooner) with the whole "Family Values" mantra. Obviously, politicians or those in power have been manipulating people's emotion since the beginning of our human civilization. But here in the late 20th and early 21st century you have the Karl Rove's of the US political machine appealing and manipulating our emotions because (unfortunately) an emotional argument will trump a logical one. Republicans (not all of them) don't want people to logically think, they want people to react with their emotions and it has been political genius.

And that mandate had no religious exemption.

Oh, well. How many times have we seen this before?
The second the president embraces a republican idea, it is bad, bad, bad.
And they still believe that people don't see this clear as day.
So stupid.

I have posted that link a few times and neither the OP nor any other Obama basher has addressed it yet. It is radioactive to them...kind of thwarts their intent and phony outrage.

Well, when they have nothing else, those straws are tempting to grasp at.
