Does Obama's Contraceptive Compromise Go Far Enough?

Are all Americans to be afforded the freedom to choose? Or, are our liberties to be doled out by the Catholic Church?

Mr. Obama's contractption compromise is NOT a compromise. It is nothing but smoke and mirrors and a political ploy. It is an insult to one's intelligence and another example that this president lacks a moral compass. Using Mr. Obama's logic, making a moral wrong free of cost, makes it a moral right. What kind of twisted thinking is that. This has been a wake-up call for Catholics who now see the true side of Mr. Obama and his (administration’s) secular anti- religious agenda. It seems Mr. Obama is trying to re-establish the monarchy with him as our ruler, and as King, Mr. Obama will tell us what is right, and what is wrong. What we can do and what we cannot do. What a pompous, arrogant, and out-of-touch elected bureaucrat! Conclusion - tme to vote the rascal out!!

Now Secular Relativism is continuing. Let me ask a simple question: Would you give a murderer a weapon? Would you give a child molester another child? Then why should I support a government mandate deemed "women's health" in the form of contraception? Why should I, or anyone pay for murder?

In a peace loving nation, why should we me taxed to pay for murder. Contraception, Birth Control and Euthanasia is Murder.

Contraception tells the young to go ahead and have sex but be protected. Therefore, sex is no longer healthy and the pursuit of happiness in the avenue of love becomes nonexistent. Rape occurs because women decline sex. Yet the secular people say that the use of contraception makes rape OK? Rape is murder just like contraception and birth control is murder.

I will not give a gun and ammunition over to a killer. I will not pay for that gun either. Nor will I support Obama Care and in good faith, to all who read this I encourage them to stand beside me and the Catholic Church. Obama felt proud in the blunder of a compromise with the Church. In 2000 years the church never compromised. As far as those priests who violated the Church's teaching they were released from the Church not protected by the Church. Let this be a lesson to President Obama, the Church is responsible to a Higher Authority which they enforce. The loyalty of the Church to Christ is strong and will ever be strong. They are vigilant, they have true integrity. The Integrity of the Roman Catholic church prompted the Founding Fathers to create the Separation of Church and State! The Founding fathers, who were PROTESTANT, applied the principles of the Roman Catholic Church and invented the Constitution, Declaration of Independence and This Country! For a long time now the Secular people in their movement as described by Pope Benedict as "Relativism", attempted and on some occasions succeeded in destroying the fabric that made our civilization great. Among this fabric is the right and freedom of Religion. First, they charge the removal of the Ten Commandments, the historical building blocks of modern law, from the Justice Building, then they invoke Contraception, Birth Control, Abortion, Gay Marriage and Euthanasia. I question their support of human life. In Nazi, Germany, under Hitler, if you did not belong to the master race you were executed. In my opinion, and in what I have seen, the secular people are not seeking equality, they are seeking dictatorship! In the Roe vs Wade argument the woman of whom the abortion was done, said later that she wished she never had it performed. Many Women have witnessed these events with those who had abortions done. And most agree that it was murder. So if women who had the said procedures agree with the Church then I think it is time for their voices to be heard. Thomas Jefferson said that free conscience must be protected at all costs.Thomas Jefferson was the third president of the United States and was a founding father and should be heard

Keep it up boys, your wives and daughters will vote Democratic this time.

It is the right thing to do ...and the Republican reaction will hurt them . For a stupid ideological reason Republicans are against the use of contraceptives (???) and women will punish them for this outrageous attitude ...

It is an insult to thinking people to say that Obama compromised. He just repackaged the same original policy.

Alex Rodriguez of DE 1:40AM February 13, 2012

I can't properly answer your poll. I believe Obama's so called compromise goes too far.

Obamacare in its entirety should be repealed and replaced with a system which keeps the more popular elements (pre-existing conditions) but replaces the more onorous ones (public mandate, mandates on religious institutions).

This attack on Americans 1st Amendment rights (Freedom of Religion) is going to be an issue which clarifies the choice between Obama and the eventual nominee of the Republican Party. The choice is to vote for European Socialist model of "Cradle to Grave" entitlement programs or an American Exceptionalist, Free Enterprise, Limited Government Republican model.

President Obama is trampling on our religious freedom which is the first freedom mentioned in the Bill of Rights. For him, his support for the liberal feminist agenda trumps basic American freedoms spelled out in the Constitution. He is trying to revise the Constitution and all of America to fit his extreme liberal views.

This is like making Islamic centers and Jewich community centers provide free bacon in their cafeterias to all employees so that no one's right to bacon is infringed.

Iska Waran of MN 9:19PM February 12, 2012

What about the constitution and enshrinement of freedom of conscience/religion therein?

Will Obama next require that Microsoft manufacture and sell iPads or Google bring up Bing search results?
