Happy anniversary of Roe v. Wade

On the eve of an anniversary of Roe v. Wade the Obama administration has decided that all “qualified” insurance plans under Obamacare must include “free” artificial birth control as of August, 2012. An exemption has been given to the Catholic Church itself, but not to Catholic run schools, Catholic run charities, or Catholic run hospitals.

Instead, the Department of Health and Human Services said that "employers who don’t qualify for the exemption but still have religious objections to the requirement will be allowed to delay implementing the rule until August 2013 to give them more time to adapt their policies" or faith (my interpretation.)

How nice of them to give us a year to change our view of the world. This is not the first time, by the way. Some time ago a Catholic run hospital in Connecticut was told that they have to provide abortion (on demand) services.

Hope and Change anyone?
