David Ancell / Wednesday February 01, 2012
I would urge anyone who values freedom of religion in this country, especially Catholics, to please take a moment to sign this petition to the President. We need 25,000 signatures by February 27, 2012 to get an official response. The US Department of Health and Human Services, in an unprecedented attack on religious freedom in the United States, has issued a mandate that all employer health insurance plans provide coverage for contraception and abortifacients.
In short, this means that nearly all Catholic employers, whether they are agencies of the Church or businesses owned by devout Catholics, will be required to pay for people’s mortal sin. At best, the Obama administration is attacking freedom or religion. At worst, the administration wants to stop the Church from providing health care and other social services or even wants to destroy the Church. We cannot stand by and let this happen.
This is not about “the Church getting into people’s bedrooms.” If people employed by the Church choose to use contraception, we aren’t performing bed checks. God himself will do that, and those people will have to answer for having abused the gift by which God gave us to help him in bringing new life into the world. This is simply about not requiring the people of this world who are standing with Christ on this not to have to pay the bill for people to sin.
