some culture.
only fox news would defend a religion that rapes children.
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.

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.
of course he folded.
Love to play poker with him sometime.
Hmmm...
got that originally on my iphone from a CNN news flash.
Maybe not such a fold as originally claimed...
Really just semantics...the insurance companies have to furnish it free, not the churches...WTF? Thats no difference...

"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."
they're just trying to paint him as a religious hater.
still disgusting that fox news is defending a religion that rapes children.
Maybe the difference is they aren't required to dispense prescription birth control.
no difference
Technically it's the US Cons ution that defends religious freedom.
religions shouldn't feel free to rape children.
I agree, but your condemnation of Fox is pretty weak. I seriously doubt anyone at Fox condones raping children either.
i watch fox all the time. they avoid that subject altogether.
Oh the Utopia clammy dreams about![]()
naw, just commenting on how fox will bottom feed.
just like you did when you were praying for "b' girl" to be true.
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?
only took them 3 weeks to forget about that.
not bad.
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...
*spinning tires in reverse*
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".
touched a nerve with cc.
So why can't denying a benefit due to religious belief be illegal?
