This "edict" is another step in the wrong direction that would end forever the specific rights to "freedom of choice for parents" that abhor this governments unwanted intrusions into their daily lives, usurping their authority as the primary caregivers and authority in their childrens which they alone have sacrificed so much out of their own lives to present to this world.If they want their offspring to be schooled in an atmosphere that emphasizes education and sexual restraint w/o governmental candy stores sabotaging all that they believe, and strive to achieve for their children and their childrens futures.
HOW DARE THIS GOVERNMENT TAMPER WITH THE BRICK AND MORTAR OF CIVILIZATION FOR THEIR OWN HYPOCRITICAL WHIMSICAL DALLIANCES WITH SOCIAL RE-ENGINEERING W/ A COMMUNISTIC MANDATE FOR POPULATION CONTROL.
Ask yourselves these questions before succumbing to such treachery.
What's next?
1. See: China and its government mandate that supercedes family with its one child per family edict.
2. Check into studies that conclude that spermicides and certain chemical compounds found in feminine hygiene and birth control products can over time contribute to sterilization.
3. Historical and biblical proofs that societys that practiced and revered rampant and unbridaled sexual dysfunctionscame to an ignominious end, not long after these practices became acceptable and widespread. See: Sodom & Gomorrah b)Caligula's fallen Roman Empire. c)what would have happened to the Jews gods Chosen people if Moses hadn't gone up to the Mount when his own brother Aaron had the Chosen people charmed away from the paths of righteous familial upbringing and onto the paths of idol worship and hedonism?

This edict by 535 bought and paid non-compliant social miscreints that will neither uphold any of our constitutional, or national foundations- now seeks to undermine families and parental instruction, bludgeons religious traditions and the separation of church and state protected by our constitution for the expediencys of population control and surplanting government as the sole authority figure in all of our lives for the purpose of establishing their own *International World Order where the America as we have always known it is decimated and gone forever.

IWO- has replaced the term NWO because, too many of us have already caught to to the designs and agendas that were posited under that NWO surname. DID OBAMA REALLY THINK THAT NOBODY WOULD CATCH ON TO THE FLIMSY IMBECILIC ATTEMPT AT NAME CHANGE?

Go figure?

GOD BLESS AMERICA- LAND OF THE FREE!

PROTECT YOUR FREEDOMS!

GET RID OF "ALL" THOSE PROPOSING "new free-dumbs" W/ EXECUTIVE AND NON REVIEWABLE UNCONSTITUTIONAL MANDATES IN BOTH POLITICAL HOUSES AS AN INEVITABLE PROGRESSION TOWARDS GLOBAL ACCEPTANCE. THE REST OF THE WORLD IS NOT AMERICA.

IT IS UP TO THE REST OF THE WORLD TO RISE UP AND ASCEND TO OUR CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED VALUES... IT IS NOT FOR US TO LIE DOWN LIKE DOGS DESCENDING BACK DOWN THE LADDER TO THEIR LEVELS OF "AUTHORITARIAN" RULE.

MAY GOD DEFENDER OF ALL LIFE, EVERYWHERE- BLESS EVERYONE!

If they want their offspring to be schooled in an atmosphere that emphasizes education and sexual restraint w/o governmental candy stores sabotaging all that they believe, and strive to achieve for their children and their childrens futures- SO BE IT.
What they and god have put together, let no man nor government attempt to pull asunder.

Oooops! The rest is history- until

Abraham wanted to sacrafice "his unborn son" THANKS, BUT NO THANKS! NO CAN DO! Sayeth the ALMIGHTY. And the unaborted Isaac, lived on to be the leader of men. Hmmmmmmmmm!

The gorilla in the closet that no one is mentioning is that hospitals and schools and other ancillary businesses are NOT CHURCHES! No one is asking a CHURCH to provide birth control, but when a church, through utilizing its special tax free status as a CHURCH, begins to run other businesses in the community with employees, schools, hospitals, etc., then it should be governed by the laws of this country governing employees.

That's why I was against Obamacare. It's an excuse for government to overreach into our lives, deciding for us what is right and wrong according to a centralized standard and not our own individual beliefs.

If an organization or individual identities itself as Catholic and does not want government dictating what birth control it MUST provide, then it should have the option to opt out. But because Obamacare is mandatory, we the people lose that option, that freedom and that right. Repeal Obamacare! Restore freedom!

"The Catholic hierarchy has declared war upon every non- Catholic"

Isn't it more like....The Obama Leftist Administration had fired the first shot against all of Christianity from his very first day of office and its been rapid fire ever since???

Obama chief of staff: No more compromise on contraceptive rule:

February 12, 2012

They obviously think they have a winning issue against the GOP. If not, they are using the controversy to gin up support among their base.

Either way, the next step is going to involve the courts. Fox News:

Despite renewed statements of concern by Catholic leaders, the Obama administration is done negotiating and will finalize its plan requiring insurance companies to provide free contraception to women working and studying at religious institutions, President Obama's chief of staff said Sunday.

Jacob Lew told "Fox News Sunday" that the compromise offered last week to address objections by the Catholic Church is clear and consistent with the president's "very deep belief that a woman has a right to all forms of preventive health care, including contraception."

"We have set out our policy," Lew said. "We are going to finalize it in the final rules, but I think what the president announced on Friday is a balanced approach that meets the concerns raised both in terms of access to health care and in terms of protecting religious liberties, and we think that's the right approach."

On Friday, Obama revised his decision to require all employers to provide contraceptive care after Catholic organizations balked that it is an intrusion on the Church's religious liberty to require it to provide birth control. The president changed the mandate to shift the burden to insurance companies to provide free access to birth control and other forms of contraception.

"No institution, nonprofit institution, that has religious principles that would be violated has to pay for or directly offer these services, but women have access to the kinds of care they're entitled to. We think that's the right approach," Lew said Sunday.

Obama believes he has offered Catholics "an out" regarding their consciences. Liberals make these kind of compromises all the time, so it is not surprising that the president and his people are a little perplexed at the Catholic Bishops who take a rather less flexible approach to matters of faith.

They just don't get it and they never will.

End of the Constitution:

Obamacare birth-control mandate would defeat the First Amendment

February 10, 2012

Is America sliding toward autocratic rule? This is the essential question of Barack Obama's presidency. Mr. Obama vowed to "fundamentally transform" the United States. Despite his incompetence and economic failure, the president is making good on his central promise: the destruction of our constitutional republic. He is trying - piece by painful piece - to reverse the legacy of the Founding Fathers. Conservatives have underestimated him at their peril. For Mr. Obama is not simply an inept, liberal president in the mold of Jimmy Carter. He is an ideological revolutionary who seeks to sweep away traditional America.

The American war of independence did not just overthrow British imperial domination. The Founders forged something almost unique in history: a nation devoted to individual liberty, Christian civilization and federalism. The rule of men was replaced bythe rule of law. The linchpin was constitutional government based on the separation of powers and checks and balances. The American system is entirely predicated on the Constitution. Once the Constitution becomes meaningless or just an inconvenient piece of paper, the American experiment is over. The republic is dead.

This is what's at stake. Mr. Obama is acting like an arbitrary tyrant. He is running roughshod over the Constitution, egregiously, repeatedly and deliberately violating its restraints and clear limits on federal power. He has publicly admitted that he finds Congress a nuisance, an "obstacle" to his secular socialist project. He has said that he often thinks about "going it alone." In fact, this is what he has done - so far, largely with impunity.

He waged an illegal war in Libya. The last time Congress officially declared war was in December 1941. Yet Mr. Obama went one step further, something his predecessors - Lyndon B. Johnson, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush - never did: He refused even to ask Congress for authorization. Mr. Obama ignored the War Powers Act, flagrantly circumventing congressional authority.

Moreover, late last year, the massive National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) was signed into law, which potentially allows for the military - not domestic courts - to indefinitely detain American citizens suspected of ties to terrorism. The vaguely worded NDAA undermines the rule of law and due process, enabling the government to abrogate the fundamental right to trial. It lends itself to abuse of state power - the very thing our Founders warned against. In the wrong hands, the NDAA could be used as a weapon to persecute - and imprison - political opponents under the guise of fighting terrorism. This is the same administration that has lumped anti-abortion and anti-illegal-immigration activists with radical Islamists as possible "threats" to national security.

Yet it is not just national security. Mr. Obama has created countless policy czars possessing Cabinet-like powers without the approval or consent of the Senate. Recently, he appointed Richard Cordray to be the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau - despite the fact that he lacked needed support in the Senate. Mr. Obama's response: Take a hike. He parachuted in Mr. Cordray as a recess appointment even though Congress was not in recess. The president has usurped congressional oversight - a clear and dangerous violation of the Constitution.

His greatest assault, however, is on religious freedom. Fortunately, his latest effort sparked a rebellion. Mr. Obama had declared war not just on the Catholic Church, but on the First Amendment. The administration ordered almost all religious organizations to provide health insurance coverage that includes free birth control and sterilization procedures - even the morning-after pill, which can induce abortions. Otherwise, under Obamacare, Catholic hospitals, charities and universities would face major fines totaling millions of dollars. The choice was clear: Catholic institutions must either abandon their fundamental tenets or go bankrupt. The contraceptive mandate denied the conscience rights of the church. It was state-sanctioned coercion of private entities to act against their explicit religious beliefs. This is why it triggered such furor among Catholics and non-Catholics alike. If such basic liberties could be trampled on, then nothing - and no one - is safe from big government's crushing grip. Fortunately, a three-week outcry forced him to back off.

Like many on the radical left, Mr. Obama is an anti-Christian, anti-religious bigot. His goal is to purge Christianity from civil society, to marginalize religion from the public square. He essentially told the church that Washington, not the Vatican, will dictate how it must run its affairs and administer its social services. He demanded that Catholics sacrifice their beliefs on the altar of secular liberalism. The state - with him at its helm - is the new pagan church. Women's "reproductive health care" trumps Catholic positions on birth control and abortion. The fact that most health insurers already cover contraception and that it is widely available and accessible to women - just go to your local Walgreens - means nothing to feminists or the powerful abortion lobby. The real aim is to smash the Catholic Church as a bulwark against the sexual revolution, reducing it to a quisling of the liberal regime.

Catholic leaders rightly stood up. The Church understood it was under siege. That may not be over. Mr. Obama could win a second term. Hence, Obamacare - along with its contraceptive mandate - might not be repealed and may even expand. If so, he will have succeeded in giving birth to his Frankenstein monster: a post-constitutional, post-American soft tyranny.
