Unconscionable to force citizens to buy contraceptives against their will • No change in limited exemption, only delay in enforcement • Matter of freedom of conscience, freedom of religion
WASHINGTON, -- The Catholic bishops of the United States called "literally unconscionable" a decision by the Obama Administration to continue to demand that sterilization, abortifacients and contraception be included in virtually all health plans. Today's announcement means that this mandate and its very narrow exemption will not change at all; instead there will only be a delay in enforcement against some employers.
