Religious Liberty HHS Mandate

Religious Liberty HHS Mandate

What do you understand Richard Thompson to be describing? How do you plan on responding to the current challenge against the religious liberty of the Roman Catholic Church?

Is this a reasonable policy or is this governmental bullying? Why do you think so?

Obama's abortion absolutism and the 1st Amendment

Obama is deciding to crack down on those protesting, conducting sidewalk counseling, or even praying for the mothers and their babies.

Dick Retta is "not deterred by . . . by a civil lawsuit the Justice Department filed against him in July."

"This President, as a State Senator, voted against a bill requiring doctors to care for babies born after failed abortions (and then misled the media on the matter). As a candidate, he promised his first act would be signing the sweeping "Freedom of Choice Act," which would wipe out nearly all limitations on abortion and abortion subsidies. And then during the budget debates we saw him draw nearly his only line in the sand over Planned Parenthood subsidies.

It's abortion absolutism. Everything else -- free assembly, free speech, conscience protection, and his party's other interests -- they all take a back seat to protecting abortion."

Catholics, during the current regime, are restricted in exercising their civil rights of religious liberty and free speech under the First Amendment.
