@Senehtsotara The west is in a birth dearth. Europe is in a demographic. winter. That 98% figure is being investigated. I don't gobble up everything I read like a garbage disposal. Do you? The First Amendemnt is being violated. Let's make Muslims eat pork, Jehovah's Witnesses get blood transfusions, and vegetarian Seventh Day Adventists eat meat.

On Friday, a broad coalition of religious organizations filed an amicus brief supporting [this mandate] that disproves any claim that the faith community opposes it. The brief includes a number of major religious denominations, including the United Methodist Church, the United Church of Christ & the Presbyterian Church. The brief’s signatories also include a wide range of Catholic groups: Benedictine Sisters, Boerne, Texas; Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word, Texas, etc

@Senehtsotara The CBS/NYT poll didn't mention that religious institutions might object to the mandate. Rasmussen and Pew polls did, and their results are in favor of the bishops in a 5:4 ratio. CBS and New York Times are leftist news sources, so it's not surprising if they didn't include essential details in their polling question so that their poll results will be skewed in favor of Obama.

@strugglingtobecathol The Church does not oppose family planning - it opposes any means that interrupt the full act of intimacy, as designed by God. It upholds that God designed sex for a purpose: UNITY in love for one another (not selfish lust); LIFE/LOVE GIVING (giving of one's ENTIRE self to the other, not holding back the fertile capacity while offering only the capacity for pleasure); and CONSUMMATION of the wedding vows.

@MamoDad Way to stereotype!! Of course there are priests who are guilty of abuse in the Catholic church...just like there are guilty protestant ministers...and uncles, and dads, and grandfathers all over the world. Child abuse is not limited to, or synonymous with the Catholic Priesthood - it exists everywhere. The fact that scandal exists is not so shameful as the fact that some of the "good guys" defend and protect the abusers from receiving justice - these are the ones to criticize.

When Obama altered the bill to shift the onus to the insurance company for funding it is now the church that are drawing line in the sand to force people to half to choose between the views of the church or accept policies that are suggested by government I hope the church looses (again)
