LOL!!!! I love it..

"Caved", "Backed Down", "Bowed to the Pressure"...

But one thing that Republicans firmly believe Obama is incapable of is "Compromise"....

Seems kinda tomayto/tomahto to me, but whatever allows you all to sleep at night...

If they're satisfied with it and say it doesn't force them to violate their faith, then that resolves the religious aspect of it.

Yep, accomplishing the same thing in a different way. Rerouting around damage. That's called smart.

We will have to wait for the specifics, but will Ins Cos provide the coverage, yet not charge anybody for it? Hmmmm. I am sure they will do it out of the goodness of their heart, right?

Actually, smart would have been to not step in this in the first place as his advisers told him. Once you've stepped into a dog pile, anyone knows to step out of it. It's smarter to watch your step when crossing the yard.

Brings back memories.

I attended a Jesuit univesity and it is not like our campus clinic gave you anything. They just smiled, winked, and pointed towards off campus.

Of course, that is what I had been doing all along.

Keep telling yourself this and maybe it will eventually come true.

Fact is that right now? It isn't.

New surveys: Catholics want birth control coverage

58% of all Catholics agree employers should be required to provide their employees with health care plans that cover contraception. That slides down to 52% for Catholic voters, 50% for white Catholics.
Evangelical Protestants seem to be the most upset of those surveyed as only 38% of them agree with the President on this... But let's be honest for a moment. These are people that weren't going to be voting for Obama (or probably ANY Democrat) in the first place...
