This is must reading. The folks at Hullabaloo make a compelling case that all the moaning and groaning from the Catholic Bishops is just anti-Obama politics. The Catholics have been paying for birth control and even abortions in several states under similar insurance mandates for years. Somehow, they’ve found a way to mollify their tender consciences. They can’t possibly argue, ala Mitt, that somehow it’s different when the feds make you do it.
On the larger issue, if the Republicans want to make this election about contraception, were I Obama I’d say bring it on. He’s not getting many votes from the anti-contraception crowd anyway, and the issue would certainly energize half his base. Anyone who wants to run in this day and age on an anti-birth control platform is seriously delusional.
