    I agree with the decision as a matter of policy, but it was stupid politics. The Obama administration just gave the GOP the fuel it needed to start up the culture wars again. With the economy looking better they needed something to hit Obama with and he gave it to them foolishly. This is not the kind of decision you want to make in an election year. Rookie mistake by Obama that matches Romney's "I'm not concerned about the poor" gaffe.

    only fox news would defend a religion that rapes children.

    GOP doesn't need fuel, other than their own inflammable breath and farts, to start a culture war.

    Obama just folded. Catholic hospitals and charities will be exempt.

    "Under the new plan, religiously affiliated universities and hospitals will not be forced to offer contraception coverage to their employees. Insurers will be required, however, to offer complete coverage free of charge to any women who work at such ins utions."

    Maybe the difference is they aren't required to dispense prescription birth control.

    I agree, but your condemnation of Fox is pretty weak. I seriously doubt anyone at Fox condones raping children either.

    For those of you that agree with the Catholics' indignation in this matter, if this had been a case of Islamic charities refusing to provide coverage for female employees who are victims of domestic violence because their holy book actually advocates wife-beating ... would you support their right to deny such coverage because it is important to their faith?

    Pretty weak analogy. The precedent for certain religious beliefs being illegal is clearly established. The one you mentioned being one...Polygamy being another that immediately comes to mind...

    fox could gain points like this:

    bishop: "we're outraged about this birth control thingy"

    fox talking head: "where do religious leaders that routinely rape children get the balls to about anything?"

    Last I checked that would not qualify as "reporting the news".

    So why can't denying a benefit due to religious belief be illegal?
