People probably didn’t take this video too seriously back in 2009, when they were still hoping for that hopey changey thing from Barack. Now that Obama is forcing birth control abortion sterilization down everyone’s throat, the premonitions of Michael Voris are worth reviewing.

Obama Extends HHS Mandate, Sneaks News Out on Friday
Ed Morrissey at Hot Air is pointing out that insurance companies have not jumped for joy at the new birth control, abortion, and sterilization mandate that Obama is forcing on them. They know that it’s not really revenue neutral, especially up front, when they have to fork over one hundred percent of the costs. The supposed savings by preventing pregnancies are theoretical. Consider also that the pill induces conditions in women which require more medical attention: metabolic disorders and thromboembolic events, among others. No insurance companies have indicated an expectation of savings from Obama’s mandate.
The Hill brings up the point that no insurance coverage is free. The final cost is always coming from the total benefits package offered to the employee. If health insurance costs more, then less salary is offered.
There is also the issue of self insured employers. Many Catholic institutions are self insured, and one of the reasons for this originally could have been to avoid taking part in larger insurance pools that covered services which are not in line with Catholic teaching. Another reason would be cost containment.
THe HHS is is overturning doctrines of more than one Religion with this mandate. It might take a bit of time for the full response to come in.
Insurance companies are wondering what new unfunded mandates Obama will be imposing on them.
Tina Korbe has announced the St Patrick’s day/ March madness document dump from the White House. There is the advance notice of proposed rule making on preventative services policy quietly slipped out on Friday night when no one is looking. You should have heard about this in normal news venues so that you could have an opportunity to comment on the HHS rules expanding the mandate for coverage of birth control, abortion, and sterilizations.
Obama and Sebelius really don’t want to consider your opinions, and this is the reason for dribbling out the news when everyone is ready for a party weekend.
Yes the expanded mandate will cover Sandra Fluke’s apparent wild sex life at the university. Student insurance will be required, that offers free birth control, abortions and sterilizations. The Universities will of course have to cover the insurance and pass the costs to the students as part of tuition and fees.

Blagojevich is remembered for his governor’s edict to force Illinois pharmacists to dispense ALL birth control drugs without delay, regardless of clinical (e.g. thromboembolic considerations) or conscientious (e.g. abortifacient properties) objections. Perhaps Obama and Sebelius, who are imposing more extreme mandates on insurance companies, and the health care industry, will eventually obtain a similar opportunity for meditation and reflection as has been afforded to Rod Blagojevich.
We Knew it All Along, Abortion Coverage Costs Insurance Enrollees $1 Per Month
Obama Admin Finalizes Rules: $1 Abortions in ObamaCare | LifeNews.com.
There is a governmental mandate for U.S. Citizens to purchase health care insurance, or else pay a fine which will increase over the years. The Supreme court is reviewing this mandate at the present time.
Obamacare will be forcing taxpayers into various insurance plans which may cover abortion. There will no opt out in the individual plans for those with religious objections to abortion. There is a separate one dollar fee to be paid per month to subsidize the abortion coverage, with no opportunity to opt out of that particular element of the plans.
People will be herded into this form of insurance as the various companies offering other options, are forced out of business by the onerous regulations imposed on them by Obamacare.
In addition, there is the brand new mandate for insurance companies to offer “free” birth control, which, of course will be covered by all who pay into the plans. The video below explains:
Obama and his media were expecting the women of the U.S. to fall at his feet with joy at the prospect of birth control, abortions and sterilizations funded by others. Recent polling shows a dip in his approval rating, suggesting that women are more interested in an end to the upward spiral of gas and energy costs.
Biden (Gaffe Machine): We “Screwed Up” Conscience Issues in the Mandate
Biden: We "Screwed Up" Conscience Issues in the Mandate | LifeNews.com.
What’s the current state of Obama’s HHS mandate to force insurance companies to cover birth control / abortifacients /sterilizations?
Life News kicks a comprehensive article off with Biden’s admission that the initial mandate was a screw up, and that he didn’t do his job. He’s not smart enough to know that the insurance mandate in its current form is equally as bad, and equally unconstitutional. He’s also not smart enough to know how many religiously run health care institutions offer self insured employee health care coverage. Yes, Biden is a gaffe machine in word and in deed.
Other highlights: Blunt amendment has been tabled and it is coming around again under a new name: Respect for Rights of Conscience Act.
In the house, The Fortenberry bill is the most well supported remedy to overturn the HHS amendment.
There are even some Democrats who have seen the light, and understand that Obama’s egregious violation of the First Amendment, is a negative drag on their efforts for reelection in 2012.
Fr. John Hollowell Speaks to Cecile Richards
Something has Fr. John Hollowell, an articulate Catholic priest and educator, ready to do battle.
Could it be Satan?
Close.
It’s Cecile Richards, president of planned unparenthood.
Fr. Hollowell’s video stands on its own, but you can see Cecile’s video “I Have a Say” in which she extolls the Obama mandate forcing insurance companies to provide birth control/ abortion / sterilization right HERE
Ms. Richards is fast and loose with the fabricated statistics on birth control use. She falsely identifies congressional hearings on the constitutionality of the HHS mandate, as a hearing on “contraception”. A female, wanting to testify about what she thinks is contraception, was not admitted to the first hearing because she was off topic. Even the Politico noticed that the complaint of women not having a say in the hearings was false.
“Infanticidal Lefties!” We Told You So
After-birth abortion: why should the baby live? — Giubilini and Minerva — Journal of Medical Ethics.
After about 40 years of hearing that the pro-lifers’ slippery slope arguments against abortion and euthanasia were not valid, or a departure from reality, Pharmer takes this opportunity to say We TOLD you so!.
As if this is news, the internet has taken up the above example, authored by “bioethicists” (qualified to be on Obama’s health advisory team) that infanticide of any newborn is OK, if the baby is considered inconvenient to the lifestyle of the parents.
Wesley Smith is giving the same article one more go around at Second Hand Smoke. Even he seems tired of writing about them.
What seems to be a shock in the media is just old news to pro-lifers, who knew our leftist, ideological opponents, and realized their nature from the beginning. Killing and slavery is still their thing. They have not evolved to anything higher throughout the centuries.
The question is whether those of us without this appetite for destruction are going to continue to fund the plans of these people to kill and enslave us.
Are you attending to your boycotting? Are you paying attention to the “service” projects that your kids are doing in school? Are you directing your charitable efforts towards groups aligned with your ethical beliefs?
Boston Catholic Insider: Romney Lied About Catholic Hospitals Voluntarily Giving out Plan B
Linked above is an extensive article and information from the Boston Catholic Insider on the process by which the Catholic Hospitals of Massachusetts were coerced to give out the morning after pill to rape victims.
It includes a detailed chronology of events, and is worth your time to read.
Romney appears capable of a similar kind of bait and switch that Obama has done to the Catholic Bishops with his birth control/ abortion / sterilization mandate.
Here’s an 12/2005 article from the Pilot Catholic News about Romney’s announcement that his morning after pill mandate applied to Catholic hospitals. Romney had previously stated that religious hospitals would be exempted by a 1975 law that provided protection for conscientious refusal to distribute birth control or participate in abortion. He later decided that there was no such shield, and demanded that the Catholic hospitals comply with the birth control mandate.
Don’t You Wish Our Politicians Had This Much Nerve!?
Listen to this Catholic Priest take on Obama, his Abortion Addiction, and his birth control / abortion / sterilization mandate. Pray for the continued safety and well being of this courageous individual, Father Sammie L Maletta, of St John the Evangelist Parish in St. John Indiana.
Obama’s New Budget Director Undermines Obama Health Care Argument to Supreme Court
There’s an old law, called the Anti Injunction Act which says the courts can’t rule on a suit about a tax until the aggrieved persons have already had to pay the tax.
This should not apply to the health care mandate because that is not an actual tax, but is a demand that people buy health insurance and a penalty if they do not.
Obamanator’s lawyers are arguing that the health care mandate is a tax, and asking for the lawsuits against it to be thrown out. If they were right about this, further court ruling on this matter would be delayed until after April 2015, after Obamacare kicks in, and when the penalties are starting to be paid.
Office of Management and Budget Director, Jeffrey Zients was interviewed by Republican (NJ) Rep. Scott Garrett on C Span in Congress, regarding The new Obama budget which claims no new taxes for people making under $250,000 dollars.
Garrett assked Zients if a person making less than that amount does not buy health care and has to pay the mandated fine, is that a tax??? Zients said “NO” it’s not a tax.
Rep. Garrett pointed out that the Obama administration is arguing the OPPOSITE before the Supreme Court, to defend the Health Care Mandate.
Pharmer would like to point out something to the Bishops…. who would have been doing cartwheels if socialized healthcare could have been obtained without the birth control / abortion mandate. If this new budget director had any direction from the White house, Obama cares more about getting reelected than he does about accomplishing the implementation of his socialized medicine scheme. Defending the funding of the program in the Supreme court depends on calling the fine a tax. But the budget (a campaign ploy which the congress has to reject) purports NOT to raise taxes on most Americans. The health care fine / tax hits the lowest income Americans, who cannot afford health care coverage, the hardest. The Obama administration has opted to sell the 2012 budget/campaign ploy harder than means of funding Obamacare.
