While Church-affiliated institutions have been promised a one-year  extension before they must document their compliance, private for-profit  businesses must provide that proof as soon as their new health plan is  rolled out.

Concurrence.

Even if a Conscience Clause is instituted, it will be eventually eliminated once Obama Care is entrenched.

They will try to whittle away at it unless perhaps an amendment to the Constitution is added.

First we need to Pray. If we do not pray we will not obtain the Victory.

You’re absolutely right. Prayer is probably our most powerful weapon against evil.

No…I changed my mind. Prayer IS our most powerful weapon against evil.
