   Biden Says He Would Rescind Exemption for Little Sisters of the Poor
By John McCormack

July 9, 2020 10:26 AM
 

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden issued a statement Wednesday evening in which he said he is “disappointed in today’s U.S. Supreme Court decision” in the case Little Sisters of the Poor v. Pennsylvania.

“I will restore the Obama-Biden policy that existed before the [2014 Supreme Court] Hobby Lobby ruling,” Biden said.

The Supreme Court’s Little Sisters decision upheld the Trump administration’s rule exempting conscientious objectors from Obamacare’s birth-control and abortifacient mandate, but the decision did not address whether the mandate is itself a violation of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

Here’s Biden’s full statement:

It would seem to me there are bigger and more pressing issues than whether Catholic Nuns have to pay for pregnancy insurance. :wtf:

So to hell with the Constitution and the Supreme Court, right?  Typical fascist America-hating Democrat.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

That was my thought when I first saw the headline.

It's bad enough when the courts legislate, now we are entering the era when the courts are just ignored and the power of the mob rules.

Not if you're an anti-American, anti-Christian leftist trying to placate and please your rabid, anti-American/anti-Christian mastershandlers (ooops... there's that word).

No quarter given to the enemy within...ever.

You can vote your way into socialism, but you have to shoot your way out of it.

There sure is bigger fish to fry with abortion still legal.  You would think stopping unplanned pregnancy would be better than abortion.
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

 :shrug: Does that mean you're OK with the US government forcing Catholic organizations to violate their beliefs? :shrug: Or did you have some other meaning? :shrug:

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Where is the Little Sisters on abortion being covered by Obama Care?   The Little Sisters don't use Contraceptives. 

I know every religious organization does not want to cover the killing of babies in the womb.  Its hypocrisy.

So you are unaware that the Little Sisters' lawsuit was about being forced to pay for health insurance that included both contraceptives and abortion? https://www.lifenews.com/2019/10/22/federal-court-forces-little-sisters-of-the-poor-to-fund-abortions-under-obamacare-mandate/

That one is unaware of a lot of things.  Declaring pregnancy must be planned to be ok is just one of them.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
