Unacceptable
Ethicists take the White House to task for the alleged accommodation. You can read the letter here. Former Vatican Ambassador, Mary Ann Glendon, Catholic University of America President John Garvey, and a few other prominent professors of Law and Ethics signed this letter.
The simple fact is that the Obama administration is compelling religious people and institutions who are employers to purchase a health insurance contract that provides abortion-inducing drugs, contraception, and sterilization. This is a grave violation of religious freedom and cannot stand. It is an insult to the intelligence of Catholics, Protestants, Eastern Orthodox Christians, Jews, Muslims, and other people of faith and conscience to imagine that they will accept as assault on their religious liberty if only it is covered up by a cheap accounting trick.
With all due respect to the commander in chief, there is not only a lack of respect to the religious beliefs and practices of Catholics, but also a serious lack of respect for our intelligence by proposing such an alleged “accommodation.”
I read elsewhere, that this was not an accommodation for the USSCB and many other religious institutions justifiably offended by this blatant disregard for religious freedom, but to placate liberal detractors who protested this. Obama does not seem to have any interest in reconciling with the Church in this country. PRESIDENTIAL FAIL
