As I pointed out last Friday in the American Spectator, the HHS contraception mandate is little more than a political payoff to Big Pharma. And judging from the “revision” to the mandate issued by HHS on the same day, the fix is still in. As Yuval Levin at NRO phrases it: It doesn’t actually exempt [...]
In today’s American Spectator I point out that the HHS contraception mandate is nothing more than a payoff to Big Pharma for its support of Obamacare: Why would the Obama administration, having won the legislative struggle to get Obamacare passed and fought a brutal legal battle to prevent it from being overturned by the Supreme [...]
In today’s American Spectator, I discuss the curious silence of the “news” media on the four December court rulings that went against the HHS mandate, as compared to the thousands of stories they produced about the relatively unimportant Hobby Lobby decision: In December, there were five federal court decisions relating to ObamaCare. Chances are, however, [...]
You won’t hear much about it from the “news” media, which will focus on the Supreme Court’s rejection of a long-shot injunction request by Hobby Lobby, but the opponents of ObamaCare’s contraception mandate are stacking up victories in the courts. In addition to winning three injunctions against the government since last summer, the opponents of [...]
Adding Domino’s Pizza to the growing list of private entities fighting the feds over the HHS contraception mandate, the company’s founder filed suit on Friday: Tom Monaghan, a devout Roman Catholic, says contraception is not health care and instead is a ‘gravely immoral’ practice. He’s a plaintiff in a lawsuit filed Friday in federal court, [...]
This is the third such injunction to be issued in less than six months. Last July, Judge John Kane of the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado issued an injunction forbidding the government from taking action against a company called Hercules Industries for refusing to provide contraceptive coverage to its employees. In early [...]
Last July, Judge John Kane of the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado issued an injunction forbidding the government from taking action against a company called Hercules Industries for refusing to provide contraceptive coverage to its employees. Largely unnoticed due to the impending election, District Court Judge Robert Cleland of the Eastern District [...]
You wouldn’t force an atheist to buy you a bible. You wouldn’t force a vegetarian to buy you a hamburger. Why, then, would you ask a Catholic employer to purchase your birth control? It’s that simple. [ht Ed Morrissey]
In today’s American Spectator, I discuss a huge whopper Joe Biden told during last Thursday’s VP debate with Paul Ryan: Most of the criticism aimed at Joe Biden relating to his disgraceful performance in last Thursday’s VP debate has related to his transparent lie about what the Obama administration knew about the September 11 terrorist [...]
Among the many lies Joe Biden told during last Thursday’s VP debate was about ObamaCare’s contraception mandate: No religious institution—Catholic or otherwise, including Catholic social services, Georgetown hospital, Mercy hospital, any hospital—none has to either refer contraception, none has to pay for contraception, none has to be a vehicle to get contraception in any insurance [...]
