Religious Freedom
Last week the Obama Administration announced it will be one year before enforcing a new pro-choice policy. This mandate comes from ObamaCare and it will require religious organizations to provide coverage for contraception, including “Plan B”.
The Obama Administration has now declared that birth control and Plan B are preventative forms of health care and must be provided by health care plans. The Administration’s decision places many religious groups at a tough crossroads. Catholic organizations will be forced to make tough choices – ignore a major tenant of their belief system and provide these “preventative” health care measures or not providing insurance to their employees and being levied with a federal fine for violating the employer mandate.
This action is unacceptable. As Americans, we are guaranteed the right to religious freedom and this policy violates an idea our founders believed in. The Obama Administration has reached a new level of disregard for freedom with this action.
