HR 153

PRO-ABORTION OBAMACARE
REMAINS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Pays for Abortion, Violates Origination
Clause AND First Amendment
WE NEED NOT WAIT FOR SCOTUS…
WE CAN REPEAL AND REPLACE NOW!
Demand More Congressional Support
for H. Res. 153 to Repeal ObamaCare
TODAY is the bloody anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Even if you cannot be outside to March for Life, you can still advocate for the unborn, and defend the pro-life cause by blasting the U.S House and Senate to act boldly and courageously for the sanctity of life…
Eleven Republican Attorneys General took a stand for the Constitution and the rule of law in a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius condemning Barack Obama's abuses of executive power to "delay" or otherwise "fix" his foundering, destructive pet project ObamaCare.
So the following day, the Obama administration began lobbying the Supreme Court to salvage the Affordable Care Act in all its shameful violation of our First Amendment rights and freedoms, as well as its brutalization of the first and most sacred right – the Right to Life.
In what no doubt was a surprise to the Obama administration, one of its own Supreme Court appointees, Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued a stay preventing the government from enforcing the so called contraceptive mandate against the Colorado-based Little Sisters of the Poor Home for the Aged.
Obama wants the temporary reprieve lifted and the group of Catholic nuns forced to pay for contraceptive coverage or play the go-around game of signing what they call a "permission slip" authorizing others to provide contraceptives and abortifacients – or be punished with thousands of dollars in daily fines and bankrupted.
The brief filed by their lawyers rightly claimed the government is "simply blind to the religious exercise at issue: the Little Sisters and other Applicants cannot execute the form because they cannot deputize a third party to sin on their behalf."
Appallingly, the Eric Holder Department of Justice doesn't care. It says that the Sisters have no foundation for their case because the third-party administrator tasked with deciding whether or not to provide contraceptive/abortion coverage "says it will not."
"Applicants have no legal basis to challenge the self certification requirement or to complain that it involves them in the process of providing contraceptive coverage," the administration claimed.
For now, the Sisters' temporary reprieve is in effect with no word on when the court will make its final decision.
But what if the "third party" decided differently… Would the Sisters have a case if they were forced by ObamaCare to divert their funds for caring for the poor elderly and the dying to pay for life-killing abortifacients under a banner of "women's health"?
