The Catholic Church Vs The Obama Administration

As I've posted above, is it consistent with other questionable moves the administration has made.

You forgot to add IMHO.

Suppose a woman who was raped goes to one of these "institutions" will she be given the morning after pill(s)?

So if the Constitution protects religious belief can I practice voodoo? Or Zoroastianism? Can I worship Wicca or the Goddess?

You're the RC, you tell me.

I do know here was a period in Quebec where if there was a complication during birth they would save the baby at all cost, even to sacrificing the mother.

Then he went and announced recently that the provisions would indeed be enforced but the institutions in question would have a year to comply (this was Obama's supposed bone throw to the church on this). So now Archbishop Dolan (who is slated to soon become a Cardinal) is claiming that Obama told him a bald faced lie.

At last count 41 catholic institutions have filed lawsuits.

Sleaziest president ever.

But his position has evolved!

Between the nuns and child molestation she had more than enough.

An aside here: Why do former Catholics have such a hatred for nuns?

Where are all the literate people in the USA working?

I can think of few big businesses I interact with that don't struggle with reading a clock if it is not digital?

I'm a current Catholic, and I still have post-traumatic stress flashbacks to 5th grade, Sister Humiliana, her metal ruler, and its frequent collisions with my knuckles.
