Protest For Religious Freedom Regarding Healthcare Mandates
Several hundred people gathered in front of Seattle’s federal courthouse around noon yesterday to protest provisions of the Obama Administration’s healthcare mandate that they said requires employers to pay for contraception and abortions regardless of the employer’s religious affiliations or concerns of conscience.
Well this is going to ruffle a few feathers for sure, and really, government needs to stay out of the whole thing. There is just no way to get something like this accomplished without upsetting people. I know some people would argue, why not, but let's put the shoe on the other foot. What if employers were required to help pay for religious education in private and public schools regardless of their beliefs? They need to think about how things like this will effect other areas that should also be protected.
