Pro-Abortion Planned Parenthood And NARAL Come Out In Support of Obama’s Contraception “Compromise,” Catholic Bishops Already Shot It Down…
Pro-abortion groups Planned Parenthood and NARAL are praising Obama’s BS “compromise.”
Washington, D.C. — Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, called the Obama administration’s announcement a reaffirmation of the commitment to ensuring contraceptive coverage.
The Obama administration’s policy will make sure women of all faiths who work at religiously affiliated hospitals, universities, and service organizations can get contraceptive coverage. It guarantees that women will encounter no barriers from their bosses or insurance plans in getting birth control without a copay.
“Today’s announcement makes it clear that President Obama is firmly committed to protecting women’s health,” Keenan said. “Unfortunately, some opponents of contraception may not be satisfied. These groups and their allies in Congress want to take away contraceptive coverage from nurses, janitors, administrative staff, and college instructors — and that agenda is out of touch with our country’s values and priorities. We will continue to fight on every front to support women’s access to birth control as politicians in Washington, D.C. try to take it away.”
Here’s what the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops said about it on Tuesday.
WASHINGTON — As religious groups maintain their drumbeat of opposition to the new federal rule mandating contraception coverage for all private employer health plans, some commentators have identified Hawaii’s bill as a possible “compromise” that could address criticism.
But a key official in the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops says the Hawaii bill — repeatedly cited in media commentary — would not resolve the conference’s concerns and would, in any case, be overridden by the federal rule.
“I’ve reviewed the Hawaii law, and it’s not much of a compromise,” said Richard Doerflinger of the USCCB Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities and the bishops’ chief lobbyist on life issues in the nation’s capital. “The Hawaii contraceptive mandate has many of the same features as the new federal mandate.”
Like the federal rule, he said, the Hawaii bill “covers all FDA-approved ‘contraceptives’ (including drugs that can cause an abortion); and the religious exemption is very narrow (though it does not include the requirement that the religious organization serve only people of its own faith to be eligible).
“It adds an extra feature — the requirement that any religious organization that is exempt must still tell all enrollees how they may directly access contraceptive services and supplies in an expeditious manner.”
In other words, the Catholic Church must directly send women to drugs and devices that are morally wrong and can do harm to them.

Single pay, grabbermint subsidies. Yup, knew it.

This is what happens when the federal government tries to increase its power and size. No way he can fix this unless he completely scraps the plan all together and that isn’t going to happen.
I just don’t understand why they don’t suggest these women go to Planned Parenthood, I mean sheesh, that’s what they say they’re there for!
Just a bunch of people who do not want to take responsibility for their actions . . . they just want to get rid of the consequences. Just more proof that we now have people who are just lazy and immoral on such a level that we have these same bums potentially damaging our nation.
@Zip:
No way is he going to give it up without a fight. Hope scotus is paying attention tho my faith in them has dropped since their horrid Kelo decision.
I’m thinking this is a very sly way the Dems will thin out the population who will need government assistance in the future. The way things are looking it appears the future involves the gov owns us and we all end up workers like in all the other commie countries… get rid of the lazy ones before they are born… what other explanation can their be?
The issue isn’t just abortion and contraception.
It’s also that fuckface wants to be in control of every facet of your life.
He wants to mandate your life.
This issue is just a small part of what he has planned. He doesn’t care if he has to give in a little… as long as he still has the power to “mandate” anything.

Thats what i’ve been wondering all week. What point is it to fund PP if it all gets moved to an insurance plan. Something is very very fishy.
Ever notice all abortion supporters are alive?
Just makes sense they would fight for less life for anyone…….huh?
Maybe those wanting free contraception stuff should do as the cowgirls say–”Good cowgirls keep their calves together”.
@Mrs Compton:
Because we know it isn’t about contraception. It is about abridging our Constitutional rights. Power and control. Commies do not play nice with competition.
You know what is also telling about this, our very own John Kerry is even asking Obama to back down. Although Mass is ultra-liberal, it is also a heavily Catholic state, I think I had one friend growing up who was Protestant, everyone else is Catholic.
Scoundrels in league with sconudrels
If it shifts to the insurer, and a religious organization or religiously own business pays the insurer, there is no difference. It’s still mandating a person, business or organization to go against one’s conscience. This will be no different than the original mandate.
Rufus, this government is like a juggernaut at full speed. Can’t even keep up with all the things being forced on us. Never in all of my life can I think of anything the government forced on the population beside the Draft and taxes.
Just this week there were bits on the news that sugar is a toxic substance and bread is bad for you too. Guess this is Michelle’s way to make sure all we can eat is arugula?

Nazi Whores baby killers who eat and suck in pig shit.
Amen to that, Spurwing Plover.
Obama should have listened to Biden and Daley when they warned him not to violate our religious freedom.
Probably the only time he should have taken Joe’s advice seriously.
@Zip:
His phone has been ringing off the hook and the mailbox is stuffed, guarantee. I grew up near Boston, thought the same thing.
Lets not forget Dear Dictator grew up muslim and probably doesn’t think any other religion is real.
I am so sick and tired of hearing about “women health issues!” The last thing on any woman’s mind is contraception when she can’t find work and feed her family under Obamanomics.
What happened to abstinence??? I haven’t heard that option even discussed in the last few years.
Oh right, that’s too “old fashioned” for the libs.
Instead the liberals would rather NOT talk about sex and just surgically implant IUDs in 13 year old girls at school without parental consent… like they are in Britain.
Because, duh, the government knows best.

diabolical.
We’ve been brainwashed into viewing contraception as “health care”. Fertility is not a disease. Pregnancy is not a disease. But if it’s positioned as “health care” then insurance and employers are pushed into the middle.
I’m fine with contraception. Lots of ways to get it and pay for it. Or get it free at a health clinic. Leave employers and insurance companies out of it.
Hey effette–
Isn’t it weird how puritanical the nanny left is about food, but when it comes to sex, hey go for it, and the government will subsidize your pills, VD treatments, AIDS drugs, whatever.
“Congress shall make no law concerning the establishment of a religion, nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof”
THIS is the issue not women’s health. It is a direct attack on the first amendment. Continued and increased attacks on the second amendment to follow shortly.
Is that dog in the picture a “Pointer”?
Yet muslims HAVE been given the right in a number of areas in our country to NOT violate their religious principles…………….
Not to go off topic, but the girl with the finger pointing in the photo doesn’t look like she has to worry about getting pregnant………
What is just as strange Thom, a lot of lesbians are very big on keeping abortion legal. Don’t get that one at all.
@dba…vagabond trader
Oh I know hun, it’s just the speaking out both sides of their mouth shit they always say.
This whole issue just might have been O’bammy’s fatal mistake regarding the November elections. Not too smart to take on the Catholic Church especially where evangelicals along with other religions sympathize.
What amazes me is how an individual can continue to step in doo doo and still be around to tell the rest of us how to run our lives…
White House to announce ‘accommodation’ on contraceptive policy
President Obama plans to announce a plan Friday to accommodate religious organizations and others that are opposed to a new policy requiring contraceptive coverage for employees by making insurance companies the ones responsible for providing free contraception.
The change would make the insurance companies, and not religious employers, responsible. Women would still have access to birth control without co-pays — but religious schools and hospitals could refuse to cover it, passing the onus to the insurance companies.

What is next? Is Obama going DICTATE that the Churches has to marry Gay Couples, or that the Catholic Church has to allow Women to be Priest, or that we all have to live and practice Sharia law? Are these fools so stupid they can’t read or do not understand the 1st Ammendment, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;”.
However, I will admit, I’d like to see Nancy Keenan in a burqa, it would improve her looks! The Left they seem to admire what Obama refers to as the Great Muslim Religion, and hate Christiananity. So, if we were to force the liberals to follow Sharia, all of the Gays, and the fornicators would be stoned to death! If they keep pushing this they may get more then they expect. The Muslims are not tolerant with their types!
@Teacake – good observation – there is a lot of self loathing on the socialist side of the fence, it seems.
What compromise..seems like the only compromise offered is to the church to compromise their…don’t buy into it Catholics…

sorry corrected post haven’t had my coffee
Religious fanaticism is one of thee worst problems in the world today.
Psa 36:1…Transgression (like an oracle) speaks to the wicked deep in his heart. There is no fear or dread of God before his eyes…For he flatters & deceives himself in his own eyes that his iniquity will not be found out and be hated…the words of his mouth are wrong and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise & to do good…He plans wrongdoing on his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he does not reject or despise evil.
It guarantees that women will encounter no barriers from their bosses or insurance plans in getting birth control without a copay.
==================================
They’ll push single payer even more now…
that’s all this has been about…
Obama will implement it by executive order… if he has too…
A bunch of sexually frustrated bitches!! Normally these outcasts join the Communist party in order to improve their sex lives, it seems even the commies are not “biting”!! So they let their frustrations out attacking other people. Sick: getting sexual satisfaction from dressing in hi-vis jackets and not washing or doing their hair:
BLECH!!!
@ThomNJ
That was the first thought that came to my mind
Why are abortion-pandering women always so damned fugly? It’s not like they will ever need an abortion. All of their “boyfriends” do nothing but take batteries.
WoW are these the pro murder group — can they even get dates ??? or do they do tricks —isn’t it funny that you never see MOVIE STARS at these rally’s,WHERE ARE YOU, but they come out and open their big cake holes in favor all the time–where are all the beautiful people — on vacations having a great time WITH THEIR CHILDREN WHO THEY DIDN’T KILL, WITH THE MONEY THAT THESE REALLY DOG WOMEN WHO WOULD KILL THEIR CHILDREN GAVE THEM—that’s pretty funny — watch where you put your money—if your so grand and everyone supports you,raise your own money— PP and NARAL FUND YOUR OWN MURDER OF YOUR CHILD, DON’T DRAG ANYONE ELSE INTO YOUR CRIME!!! Go to Hell on your own dime— not mine!!!
