It has been posted---you won't read the links. I can't help you dude.
That doesn't fly. If you can't state, in your OWN words, what is being threatened, then you are admitting to not knowing what you're talking about. Which is what many of us have suspected from the very beginning.
Here, I'll help you, dude:

Which part of the First Amendment is being taken away from you??
What a joke! If a lot of people had shown up, it would show the economy is bad b/c they don't have jobs. Since not many did show up, it proves the economy is bad and they're afraid to lose their jobs if they take a day off. An answer for every situation: "the economy is bad".
The econoimy IS bad. It doesn't matter how you look at it---IT'S BAD.
38 states, including mine, already have such laws on the books, and for the most part, Catholic hospitals are complying. It is a simplistic suggestion to say they can just quit their jobs and find another one, blah, blah. Look at the above sage assessment of the economy! In many towns, a Catholic hospital is the ONLY hospital.
Right, Obama should have listened to Bidden and not gone there with his mandate.

Presicely, and part of freedom of religion is not being forced to violate ones conscience.
"Another 'Occupy' movement has just rocked the United States of America - but with a very different message. Tens of thousands of men and women gathered in 146 protests on Friday, joining a grassroots effort that organizers say grew far beyond expectations. The rallies were held to protest the Obama administration mandate forcing religious universities, charities, and other groups to pay for abortifacient drugs and other birth control for students and employees.
But while the purpose of the Occupy protests last Fall was sometimes criticized as being somewhat hazy, the message of this event was clear. According to the Friday rallies, the HHS mandate is not a birth control issue, but a religious freedom issue, and a challenge to fight that won’t be ignored ..."
It's interesting what you said about the media. The turn-out here was about 100 people -- not bad considering it was on a workday. Probably more like 300 at least but I read a little tiny blip about it in the newspaper.
The same media which is there with cameras and special shots to include bystanders to make it seem that a pro-illegal protest of 12 participants was a much bigger deal than it was, or make it seem many more showed up at any liberal event than did, is definitely not reporting.
Interesting. Why don't the "tens of thousands" of Catholics decry the Vatican for insisting on perpetuating the archaic no contraception mandate when the majority of Catholics use birth control anyway? It would seem to the prudent thing to do.

While the Church preaches, there is no mandate. You will not be excommunicated for using birth control.

The government, on the other hand, did mandate.
Therein lies the difference...
Oh please. The reason for this fiasco is the no birth control mandate, hence not wanting to cover it.
