This is about Obama revoking freedom of religion.
Nope, it's about the right of employers to not buy things that are opposed by their religion.
Obama says that all should worship him as god, so there is no conflict....
Just like we need defined parameters of what a cable TV package is - Obama will decide what channels I pay for - he is our GLORIOUS RULER....
I don't care about your irrational bigotry. I do care that Obama is attempting to dictate what individuals and employers will buy, and what religious traditions will be allowed.
Blah, blah, blah... They stopped being religious employers the minute they went into businesses that have nothing to do with Sky Pixies.
Hospitals are a business. Schools are a business. When the Church became a business, it really lost the ability to argue "Well, it's my religion".
As I've pointed out before, my niece went to a mid-level Catholic High School where about 30% of the students were non-Catholic. There was even one Muslim girl there, whose Daddy figured he could avoid an honor killing easier by sending her to Catholic School than a Public one.
For every one of those non-Catholics who could come up with the money for a tuition, there was a Catholic girl who couldn't, and would really have liked to have gone.
At that point, it became a BUSINESS, not a RELIGION.
And when it's a BUSINESS, then it is regulated like a BUSINESS.
And this is actually a pretty sensible regulation. It puts the decision where it belongs. With patients and doctors, not employers and insurance companies and Churches.
