2009 was a grim year for social conservatives. Barack Obama was an ambitious and popular new president. Republicans, and their conservative philosophy, were largely discredited in the public eye by a failed war and a massive recession. And the GOPs effort to reshape its message was still in its awkward adolescence. If the conservative movement had a mascot, it would have been a white man dressed as Paul Revere and waving a misspelled sign.
Amidst this wreckage, more than two hundred of the nations leading Christian conservatives joined together in a statement expressing their dismay at the state of the nation. Many in the present administration want to make abortions legal at any stage of fetal development, their statement claimed, while [m]ajorities in both houses of Congress hold pro-abortion views. Meanwhile, they feared that the liberals who now controlled the country are very often in the vanguard of those who would trample upon the freedom of others to express their religious and moral commitments to the sanctity of life and to the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife.
The signatories to this statement, which they named the Manhattan Declaration, included many of Americas most prominent Catholic bishops and clergy of similar prominence in other Christian sects. It included leaders of top anti-gay organizations like the National Organization for Marriage, and of more broadly focused conservative advocacy shops such as the Family Research Council. It included university presidents and deans from Christian conservative colleges. And it included the top editors from many of the Christian rights leading publications.
Perhaps most significantly, however, the documents signatories includes Alan Sears, the head of one of the two conservative legal groups litigating what are likely to be the two most important cases decided by the Supreme Court this term. Indeed, the Manhattan Declaration offers a virtual roadmap to understanding what religious conservatives hope to gain from Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood v. Sebelius, two cases the justices will hear Tuesday which present the question whether a business owners religious objections to birth control trump their legal obligation to include it in their employees health plan.
This was never about religious beliefs.
Never.
Its about control and forcing others to your wacko religious beliefs.
The people who want this anti-Constitutional ruling hate children and would kick a starving child out of the way in the street. Just read the posts here for evidence of that deep seated hatred of real live human children. Its the libs, the progressives who want to care for the children who are here while all the haters have to say is, "she should have kept her legs closed" and men aren't responsible for pregnancies.

Even they know that contraception does not cause abortion so what are they really up to?

Hmmm Luddly
perhaps they are jealous that God allows secular govt to be abused to push
"Right to Health Care" agenda but doesn't allow Christians to abuse govt to push
"Right to Life" agenda for the same reasons.
After all, Christians are held to a higher standard, and must obey both
Scriptural Law and Secular Law and Civil Authority.
While "Prochoice" activists can use govt for "whatever partisan agenda" they want
because they have not committed to the same Constitutional standards as Christians are held.

They want to get the camel's nose in the tent. That is, set the stage for further claims of "The courts say I can discriminate against you because of my religion."

Liar.
We just don't want to pay for your Birth Control. You want to play? You pay.
It really is that simple.
