SPECIAL POST
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled 2-1 Friday in favor of Francis and Philip Gilardi, the Roman Catholic owners of Ohio-based Freshway Foods and Freshway Logistics, who argued that the provision in the new healthcare law requiring they provide birth control as part of their insurance plan would violate their religious freedom. "The burden on religious exercise does not occur at the point of contraceptive purchase; instead, it occurs when a company's owners fill the basket of goods and services that constitute a healthcare plan," wrote Judge Janice Rogers Brown in the court's decision. Undoubtedly, the Obama Administration will appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court.
What is left unsaid in this case is whether or not ObamaCare now provides for the use of public funds to pay for abortions. Ostensibly, this provisions was removed from the Act, but we are discovering as we go along that many of the things they told us they were removing were not, in fact, removed.
It is becoming more and more clear that this "Affordable" Health Care Act contains numerous onerous provisions that run contrary to the promises that were made by Obama and his cohorts in order to induce the Congress into passing the legislation, although 70% of the nation opposed it at the time it was passed.
Whether or not the country continues to let the Administration cram things they don't want down their throats remains to be seen. It's all up to you.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
