Obama’s
Final Word: Catholics Must Buy/Provide Coverage for Abortion Drugs

– The Department of Health and Human Services today released the final text of
the final adjustments to the Obamacare regulation that requires virtually all
health-care plans to provide cost-free coverage for sterilizations,
contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs.
Catholics
and Evangelical Christians have objected to the regulation, arguing that it
violates their First Amendment right to the free exercise of religion. The
Catholic Church teaches that sterilization, contraception and abortion are all
intrinsically immoral. Evangelical Christians believe that abortion takes an
innocent human life and is thus wrong.
The final
regulation issued today provides no accommodations at all for individual
Catholics and other Christians who morally object to the mandate. It also makes
no accommodations for private for-profit employers who morally object to the
mandate.
Catholic
and other Christian individuals in the United States will now be forced by the
Obama administration to buy insurance coverage that pays for sterilizations,
contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs–whether they want that coverage or
not and even
though it forces them to act against their faith.
