Point of correction: Looking at your map, North Carolina has a religious exemption. Also, 17 states DO have a religious exemption. Typo?
Can you prove that there was no "conservative outrage" when these laws were passed? No, you can't. So why do you utter words like this?
Yes, you are right. It should be 8 but when I discovered the error I could no longer edit the post. The main point still holds, however. If there was a conservative outrage, Georgia and NC would have no law. The religious exemption is in Obama's regulation too. The church itself is exempt but not what the church owns or runs.
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.
I agree with that. Bad for Country, bad for Catholic Church. Should have just let the Bishops declare war on the women in the Church and Country. I know from personal experience, pizzing off women, not a good idea.

Conservatives say Romney needs to be pushed in order to act conservative, because he is not really a conservative at his core. Apparently Obama needs to be pushed to uphold the US Constitution, since his understanding of it is so lacking, and he still thinks it is fundamentally flawed..

The bolded, italicized and underlined is the key... I have not investigated the religious exemptions the states in question provided, but if they are the same as these? His point is invalidated.
Listening to Obama walks this back now. The religious organizations will not pay for or have to provide contraception. The insurance companies will pay for it (wonder where they're going to get that money). I question why he didn't have this solution in the first place if he was so committed to having free contraception? This was a miscalculation on his part.

The Employers will pay for it, it just may not be the Church Employers or not on itemized billing. If anybody thinks the Ins Cos will pay for it, they are delusional. The Prez didn't walk back anything. As any good salesman does, he just made it look like his detractors won.

Well, on this I'd be curious if NON-religion based employers are going to chime in and say, "Hey, if THEY don't have to pay for it, why do WE?".
Seems like this "solution" is opening a can of worms perhaps.
I sure hope Obama doesn't give in to the Catholic church when it wants to put itself above the law against raping children....afterall, if they don't have to obey one law why do they have to obey any law???
And if they get a dispensation for child raping it'll save them all that hiding of their pedophiles and all those millions that they pay out to victims which is probably what they are REALLY sorry about....
