Santorum: Denying women birth control coverage is a First Amendment right

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/12/01/santorum-denying-women-birth-control-coverage-is-a-first-amendment-right/


Former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum (R) on Sunday insisted that President Barack Obama was imposing his beliefs on corporations and preventing them from exercising their “right” to deny women contraception coverage in health care plans.

Last week, the Supreme Court agreed to decide if the corporation Hobby Lobby — which has Christian owners — had its rights violated by a mandate in the Affordable Care Act requiring most health care plans to offer birth control.

In a Sunday interview on CNN, former Gov. Howard Dean (D-VT) pointed out that he viewed the Vietnam War as “immoral” but had continued to pay his taxes throughout the conflict.

So in Rick Sanpuckem's world Corporations are people too and they as well as he have the right to imposed their religious views on the rest of the country.
