Obama Scam Paves Way for Abortion Mandate
“President Obama today promulgated a scam that, if he is re-elected, will allow him to mandate that every health plan in America cover abortion on demand,” said NRLC Legislative Director Douglas Johnson. “The same twisted logic will be applied: By ordering health plans to cover elective abortion, health plans would save the much higher costs of prenatal care, childbirth, and care for the baby — and under the Obama scam, if a procedure saves money, then that means that you’re not really paying for it when the government mandates it.”

By this form of doublespeak, one could say that the federal Medicaid program was not really “funding abortion” when it paid for 300,000 abortions a year (prior to adoption of the Hyde Amendment in 1976), because after all, every abortion that the government paid for also saved the government money.

The Obama “you must pay, but nobody pays” scam might also be applied to other “cost-cutting” mandates. Perhaps every health plan will be mandated to cover physician-assisted suicide, in states in which assisted suicide is legal. After all, each suicide would result in a net savings to the plan, and under the Obama scam, that means it is really free and nobody really pays for it.

Some journalists have wrongly reported that the ObamaCare law contains language prohibiting the federal government from mandating that health plans cover abortions. This is erroneous. The law prevents the Secretary of Health and Human Services from including abortion in a list of federally mandated “essential health benefits.” But the birth control mandate is based on an entirely different provision of the law, which allows the Secretary to mandate that all health plans cover any service that the Secretary places on a list of “preventive” services. There is nothing in the law to prevent the Secretary from placing abortion, assisted suicide, or any other additional services on the preventive services list, nor does the Secretary require the agreement of any other authority in the government to do so — except, perhaps, the president.

At his press conference today, President Obama suggested that the birth-control mandate was recommended by “the nation’s leading medical experts.” The actual make up of the handpicked panel that made the birth control recommendations was reported by Kathryn Jean Lopez of National Review Online here (nrlc.co/wlEyK4).

NRLC supports enactment of the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act (S. 1467, H.R. 1179) (nrlc.co/zKiSSV), which would allow health providers to decline to provide abortions or other specific medical services on the basis of religious belief or moral convictions.

This issue should also not be addressed by a presidential order. Who does he think he is, ADOLPH HITLER? It’s a matter of law and a violation of the Bill of Rights to the Constitution of the United States and that’s how it has to be addressed.

I like the sentiment.

However, how do we answer the opposition when they simplly say that the Church interferes in politics all of the time and now is just getting upset when the tables are turned?

Catholics are like every other citizen. We have the right to speak up (that is to say “interfere with politics”) when we disagree with what’s going on. The Environmentalists aren’t questioned for their right to speak up. Why should we be? Are we not also citizens? 🤷
 
1st Amendment of the Bill of Rights in the Constitution of the Unites States:

**Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. **

Obamacare is unconstitutional and this proves it.

The American people were right to disapprove of the law by wide margins. This law was passed against the wills of the majority of US Citizens. Obama, Pelosi and their power-grabbing cronies rammed it down our throats.

Pass it and then we’ll read it and find out what’s in it, INDEED.
 
We must:

Rescind the mandate.
Repeal the law.
Elect a different president.

LOL. And Lando’s next line is fitting for His Excellency, ArchBishop Dolan:

“This deal is getting worse all the time!”

With exactly that thought in mind, I was going to post the Robot Chicken spoof but I thought that might be going too far.
 
I have just written to my congressmen. I ask each of you to do the same. They need to know that, on every level, Catholics aren’t going to just give up our civil rights and be stomped all over.

In addition there are bills being written in Congress right now to prevent the federal government from behaving this way now and in the future. Your senators and representatives need to know how you stand on these bills as they come before those legislative bodies.

It would be impossible to over-estimate how important it is that this action by the federal government toward us is stopped.

They’re trying to divide us.

Well, we need to divide them by informing Catholic Democrats. Writing letters to your congressman is all well and good but we need to change hearts and minds. The bishops seem to be doing their part, it’s time we did ours.

If, for one, am doing the best I can, Bubba. I’ve written to my congressmen, I’m working Twitter and several other sites simultaneously and I will be making a lot of noise about this, you bet. I know who I’m going to vote against in the fall. Do you?
 
Catholics are up against big pharma who wants to sell more BC pills. They usually win.
Pray, fast, sell pharmaceutical company stock.
 
Monsignor Jim Lisante, NY, on Fox News: “Somehow or another we’re gonna fight this.”

Neil Cavuto on Fox News: Insurance companies not consulted before Obama announced they’d provide FREE contraception coverage.

How could Obama assume Insurance companies would okay this?
