Re: "New Obama rule would spare churches but not believers" Editorial
In an otherwise excellent editorial on the Obamacare abortifacient
contraceptives mandate, the Examiner warns, "It would be a mistake for
conservatives to frame this issue in terms of cost" because the ubiquity of
cheap contraceptive pills disproves the case for a government mandate.
True, but the Obamacare mandate also forces insurers to also provide
expensive sterilization surgeries and implanted contraceptives for free for
everyone from Newark to Beverly Hills. The administration claims without proof
that it's justified forcing insurers to provide products and services for free
because it will be cheaper to prevent babies than to deliver them.
So besides trampling religious freedom, respect for the sanctity of life and
private enterprise, the administration is also foisting its population control
ideology on the nation. Now it's up to the courts and Congress to stop this
blatant deprivation of our Constitutional rights to "life, liberty or
property."
Action
Use our Freedom2Care
legislative action center to tell HHS to stop the abortifacients mandate.
