I really hope Obama doesn't back track on this issue. It's one thing if churches are exempt, but we're talking about hospitals here! Not everyone who works there or goes there for medical care is Catholic. What would they do if a young girl showed up in their e.r. after being raped? What about a woman who is 5 months pregnant and bleeding to death? I guess they just have to die because a bunch of male virgins think b.c., plan b, and abortion are wrong, always, no matter what.
