Latest Obama Appeasement of Reactionaries Flops (Gee, Who Could Have Foreseen That?)

The venal Catholic Church, an organized crime racket (harboring and protection of pedophiles, support of fascism) has been systematically taking over hospitals in the U.S., like a blob from outer space absorbing medical institutions.

The Obama regime reasonably required that health care providers cover contraception in their insurance plans.

The Catholic Church and their reactionary allies (the giant rightwing media noise machine consisting of Murdoch’s minions, “talk” (stormtrooper soapbox) radio, and the usual fellow- travelling raglets and blogs, raised a holy stink, EVEN THOUGH THE CHURCH GOT AN EXEMPTION FOR RELIGIOUS EMPLOYEES.

These organized reactionaries all immediately raised a hue and cry using the slogan “an attack on religious freedom.” Interestingly, all these mouthpieces plus GOP presidential contenders all came out with this identical line at the same time. (Don’t dare call it a conspiracy!)

So as is typical of him, he made MORE concessions. The filthy rich, tax free, criminal organization Catholic Church won’t have to “violate their consciences” and “religious beliefs” (in their and their reactionary allies’ self-righteously pseudo-moralistic terminology) by paying a cent for contraception for their employees. (However, I have to keep paying for a massive U.S. military machine, U.S. aggression, U.S. crimes, and support for murderous dictatorships, however, my “conscience” be damned, apparently*). Instead, the insurance companies will have to provide it for free, on request of the individual employees. This surrender was roundly rejected by the Catholic Church and their allies, like the fascist (now Murdoch-owned, which didn’t make a bit of difference in its demented, vicious editorial and op-ed pages) Wall Street Journal, which kept up the drumbeat about Obama’s “assault on religious freedom” and “conscience” and on “the Constitution,” blah blah blah. (Hey, when you have a demagogic election issue to use, why give it up just because your opponent surrenders?) Churches are supposed to stay out of politics. They don’t, though.

This proves it’s NOT about “religious freedom,” but about denying women birth control, i.e. imposing Catholic Church diktat on women whether they’re even Catholic or not.

*NO Federal money AT ALL goes to pay for abortion. Because that would be forcing sex hating misogynists and their stupid female fellow travelers to pay for something that “violates their conscience.” This has been true since Clinton signed the Hyde Amendment, named after Central American terrorist loving reactionary Representative Henry Hyde, an adulterer who destroyed someone else’s marriage. Moral values, baby! They’re sooo important!!

Nevetheless, reactionaries are currently on a jihad to destroy Planned Parenthood, which spends 3% of its funds on providing abortions for the poor women the Federal government refuses to fund. Because life is precious to the U.S.- the same U.S. that invaded Iraq, killing 120,000 or so Iraqis.
