The Catholic Church is folding...http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/22/wo...w-nytimesworld

Thanks for the link, LauraKY. I'm glad the church is at least willing to administer Plan B to rape victims. However, I was pretty horrified to read that not one but TWO Catholic hospitals had turned away a rape victim who was seeking treatment, because they were afraid she would want emergency contraception. That's heartless.

so much for the message of love, right....

at least they have since then seen the light.

Well that's it.... hell is surely freezing over now. The Church is going to ALLOW rape victims to prevent conception. How gracious of them.....

Well well, looks like the BC mandate will be slowly ebbing away. Dominos won their fight against the Obamacare BC mandate. They have set the precedent for all other companies that will fight this on religous grounds.

The HL case is moving to the 10th circuit.

no, they won a preliminary injunction.

no, they won a preliminary injunction.

dominos won a temporary restarining order against the mandate, ie they do not have to comply. I predict the entire mandate will be repealed, just like the medical device tax.

"Monaghan should “not be compelled to act in conflict with his religious beliefs,” wrote U.S. District Judge Lawrence Zatgoff in issuing the halt against the mandate. Domino Farms had earlier received a temporary restraining order against the mandate."

And Sotomayer said no to Hobby Lobby. It seems that it doesn't mean anything.

Huh said no, get your facts straight SC has not ruled on constitutional merrits yet. So looks like it meand a lot.

Lovely. "But under Obamacare, Domino Farms would be forced to pay for abortion-inducing drugs, contraception, and sterilization—regardless of Monaghan’s belief that such services are “gravely immoral.”

So, they don't even have to cover contraception?! That's completely ridiculous. Again, I wonder: how many kids does this guy have? Because unless he has a LOT of kids, birth control is obviously NOT against his religious beliefs, which sort of invalidates his argument.

Employers should not be able to pick/choose which medications/procedures their employees' health insurance (which the employee PAYS for) covers.
