Ohio bishops are asking Catholics to oppose the health care regulations by
the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that will force Catholic employers to offer their employees' health coverage that includes sterilization, abortion-inducing drugs, and contraception. Almost all health insurers will be forced to include those "services" in the health policies they write, and almost all individuals will be forced to buy that coverage as a part of their policies.
Instead, the bishops urge yiou to write your congressmen and ask them to co-sponsor the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act (H.R. 1179). This measure ensures that the rights of conscience of all participants in our nation's health care system will be respected.
Here's a sample of message to send to your congressmen:
“Please co-sponsor the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act (H.R. 1179, S. 1467). This measure ensures that the rights of conscience of all participants in our nation’s health care system will be respected.”

Obama told everyone exacly what he was going to do. People voted for the man knowing full well what he planned to do. Now we are suprised?
Where was the outrage prior to him being elected?
How can we be a Catholic and also support people with intentions that are polar opposite of what we proclaim to believe? "we voted for the lesser of 2 evils"??? Don't buy it. You either stand for what you believe or you don't. We are exactly where the compromise of values has led us.
