Now before you guys skip this post after realizing that link is for the petition against the mandate requiring Catholic employers to provide contraceptives/abortifacients to their employees, HEAR THIS OUT.

“President Barack Obama caused shockwaves throughout the Catholic Church this month when he refused to grant religious institutions an exemption for a mandate requiring all employers to offer health plans with no-cost birth control for women. This mandate raises several red flags — and not just for Catholics. It’s a move that impinges on the conscience of some Americans. And that’s not a road the federal government should travel down.”

The present Administration, through the Health and Human Services Department, is mandating that all employer healthcare insurance plans provide coverage for procedures which violate the beliefs of the Catholic Church, and Catholic institutions.

Basically, the new rules require the Catholic Church, and the institutions operating faithfully under the aegis of the Church, to provide coverage for contraceptive drugs and procedures. This requirement violates the beliefs of the Church.

Never before has the United States Government deigned to represent “transcendental truth” on matters of conscience for any religion within these United States. That in itself is unprecedented, which is also why it is unconstitutional.

Sign to Let the present Administration know that this mandate cannot stand.
