When they stop paying for employee health care and start paying the fine, they will probably save money and the government gets their contributions back -everybody is happy. Their employees will get free health care from the government, right?
The Catholic church will teabag all of your faces in the end. Remember; Don't take a hostage unless you are prepared to shoot it. The last time the Church did what was best for it politically they were complicit with child molestation. I hope they've learned their lesson and instead decide to follow their convictions and let the government pay for these newly liberated workers. They can give a pay bump if they'd like to keep the better employees. Fortunately, these poor workers will never have to suffer under such difficult conditions as $9 monthly birth control pills ever again.
Great job these past 4 years, BTW. You've really outdone yourselves. It's great watching you pat yourselves on the backs and do so much better than those dastardly Republicans. Where's the beef? Who is talking about birth control? Ask yourselves. The GOP is running from the argument because they aren't arguing about it. They saw a weakness in the executive order on 1st Amendment grounds and exploited it. That exchange, I believe, was net GOP much to the chagrin of the democratic strategists who thought that only the theocratic loonies would come out swinging.
Contraception is a base grabber for the left and has been a winning argument for them just like Abortion is a base grabber for the right and is a winning argument for them. The left is talking about their culture war issues right now because they are weak and we know that they are weak. They can tell us that the economy is getting better all they'd like, but they'd better keep the smoke and mirrors up until November, or the Emperor has no clothes.
I believe that the GOP is moving toward a Ron Paul type vision of the country. We are getting away from the Santorum's of the party. You guys can keep shadow boxing with the GOP of the 1990's, but it is moving and will move even further next time around.
