A Simple Statement On What The White House Is Saying About Healthcare And The Catholic Church

The best way to understand how the Obama administration's recent edit on it's war on the Catholic Church came from a New York congresswoman and quoted in the Daily Caller:

“This is the government saying, ‘Set your beliefs aside, and we know what is best for you,’” she added. “It has a chilling effect on all religions. It’s an overreach of the federal government. And it’s a dangerous precedent.”

In reality, it could apply to non-religious groups: agnostics and atheists included if the government so desired. Maybe you've heard other examples. What if citizens were required to eat pork. I know it's a silly statement but if this was mandatory, say, for health reasons, would not our Jewish and Muslim friends be offended?
Then there'd be serious hell to pay.
