New HHS Mandate Amendment Still Violates First Amendment

Proposal to amend ObamaCare contraceptive rule met with skepticism | Fox News.

Kathleen (Cruella) Sebelius, has slightly broadened conscience exceptions in the HHS mandate. The new amendment still shows her desire to remove all of those who religiously object to paying for birth control, abortion and sterilizations, from the world of business. This is much worse than a status of dhimmitude for strict opponents of abortion, and would serve to force them out of the taxable portion of the U.S. economy. With this amendment, the administration shows that it is not serious about addressing the debt problem by allowing the INFLUX of tax dollars.

The HHS mandate remains a significant part of the many pronged effort by the Obama administration to remove the United States from its position as a world economic leader.

Catholic college sues Obama administration over abortifacient contraceptive mandate | LifeSiteNews.com.

Belmont  Abbey College, represented by the Becket Fund,  is suing the Obama Administration over its mandate forcing  religious institutions to cover abortifacient forms of birth control.  The two most obvious mentioned in the above article are Ella and Plan B One-Step, but the actual list would properly  include all hormonal forms of birth control on the market.

The supposed religious exemption written in the Obamacare legislation is regarded as too narrow to include Belmont Abbey College, and it will need to choose between contraceptive coverage or offering any health care coverage at all.
