Roanoke Times, 6-10=-12, Pg 10: Headline: CONTRACEPTION: Protesters rise against insurance requirement.
-
Who writes these misdirected headlines?  It's not the insurance stupid -- it's about the Constitution!
And the key quotes are from Congresswoman Michele Bachmann. Isn’t the best news source from the people who filed 43 lawsuits against the Obama administration including all the major religious organizations in the country?
-
Washington Post, May 23, by Cardinal Donald Wuerl is archbishop of Washington.
This lawsuit, filed Monday by the archdiocese and other Catholic organizations in our city, is not about contraception. Women are free to obtain and use contraception. The assertion that these products are hard to obtain or expensive is not true. Nothing in this lawsuit challenges women’s right to obtain these drugs and procedures.

Why is Obama and associates dictating what religious organizations must do relative to things in conflict with their beliefs?
Haven’t seen Obama passing laws forbidding Muslims from wearing burkas thereby hiding one’s face in public.
Haven’t seen Obama passing laws forbidding Muslims from teaching violence at their Madrassa’s.
Haven't seen Obama passing laws forbidding using Sharia Law as the Muslim alternative to US law.
Haven’t seen Obama passing laws for something simple, like English is the official language of the US.

The Roanoke Times and their liberal-progressive major media associates have imposed a black-out on the 43 Federal Lawsuits files against the Obama Administration. Apparently the breath and scope and depth of the filing coalition are not helpful to Obama’s reelection programs -- therefore – it didn’t happen. Something about a tree falling in the forest.

University of Notre Dame Law Prof. Richard Garnett said in a statement that the mandate could affect a range of religious institutions, including "schools, health care providers and social welfare agencies."
On a separate track, officials at a Florida Catholic university decided Monday to drop student health care coverage, becoming the second school this month to make that call. The decision at Ave Maria University was based in part on objections to the contraception rule, but also on projected increased premium costs tied to new rules in the federal health care overhaul.

Perhaps there are those in this country who still take both their religious beliefs and the 1st Amendment to the Constitution seriously. The Founders made it the 1st! They must have thought that it was important. Oh right, The Constitution is a “living document” and doesn’t really relate to today except of course when it comes to things the media holds dear then their interpretation is chiseled into granite.
