A government-funded threat
One News Now

This year, however, those who advocate this war on your children have a great boost to their activities. You see, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (aka, "ObamaCare") is going to start funneling millions of taxpayer dollars to fund this. Now that the United States Supreme Court has declared this law to be constitutional, the gloves are off and its proponents are moving full speed ahead. Like the crew and passengers of the Titanic, they are headed for sure disaster----and your children will be their casualties.

The suit claims the contraceptive mandate required by the nation's health-care overhaul is "in violation of the centuries' old teachings of the Catholic Church. ... Plaintiff's genuinely held religious beliefs dictate that it is unacceptable to support, pay for, provide, and/or facilitate abortion, sterilization, or the use of contraceptives as these services are contrary to Catholic Doctrine," the suit said.
