Courts listening to Catholic hospitals that refuse contraception side of Obamacare; DU crosslisting.

Obamacare allows and funds, contraception and abortion. But now various institutions - primarily Catholic - are asking to be exempt from this side of Obamacare. Because they don't believe in contraception and abortion; their religion is (allegedly) against birth control.

It's a major challenge to Women's Rights, and to Obamacare. A challenge which is even now, being worked out in the courts.

The courts recently, seem to be asking the Obama administration for some action toward a policy on this.

It's a good time for feedback from the public, on this topic.

Here's the crosslisting to the discussion on this, and the topic of Religious Freedom, on Democratic Underground:
