Dozens of members of Congress have signed up to back a challenge to Obamacare’s mandate that employers provide contraceptive services – including abortifacients – to employees under their health care programs.
That requirement has been imposed even on employers whose religious faith forbids their participation in the deaths of unborn infants.
A number of lawsuits have been filed over the issue, one federal judge already has halted enforcement against a Denver company, and the government voluntarily has waived enforcement for now in a case brought on behalf of a Michigan company.
Now the American Center for Law and Justice is representing 79 members of Congress with amicus briefs filed in 12 separate lawsuits brought by more than 40 Catholic organizations suing over the requirement.

These members of congress are a perfect example of why contraception should be readily available and free.
ReplyDeleteI say this as a taxpayer...the Catholics and pro-lifers want me to pay over 1 million per child to get every crack baby to the age of 18. Then I will have to pay $72,000 a year to keep this grown child in prison (65 to 82% of people in jail are from an unwed mother). Sorry, but I would much rather pay for birth control, and not have all my tax dollars go to support your religious views. This issue is settled law.
ReplyDeleteI order you people to bow down and obey me, and by executive order I am making you behave the way I want it...WHAAAAAA, WHAAAAA
ReplyDeleteSee him in court? I think not!!
ReplyDeleteMy savior don't go to court !!
We need state orphans, and mandatory birth control for people on public assistance. If you can not support the children you have, then society should prevent you from having even more.
ReplyDeleteAmen to 5:26. I will go one step farther and say mandatory sterilization after your second welfare baby. This will never happen though, because it would put the democrats/communists out of power in one or two generations.
ReplyDeletemandatory sterilization?
ReplyDeleteYou guys been reading 1984 or something?
Mandatory birth control can be done without sterilization.

Alex, Alex, Alex. You make a valid point this time, surprise.
Trouble is, the same could, and is, being said about you.
