If we stand together like this and refuse to comply, there aren't enough jails for all of us.

They are not offering it to their students, but they are offering birth control to their employees.

At the risk of being humor impaired, I must point out that nobody has EVER been forcibly detained in a "FEMA camp." Those were shelter structures provided as a mercy to the homeless, which are little different from the trailers that middle class families like mine pay 5 figures for as mobile vacation homes. Unless, of course, you believe that FEMA sabotaged the levees in the first place, in which case I'll get you a nice tinfoil hat for Christmas!

I already have a matching set for the whole family! (you know that they are focusing their mind control techniques on the children)

And there is that new process, where a body doesn't need to be cremated, but can be liquified, and flushed down the toilet.
But the Obama administration hasn't done that to any Catholics yet. But there was also a point in time, where, no one could have said that about the Hitler administration, either. I wasn't there, but from what I've read, when it started to happen, it happened quickly.
This mandate is a step in the direction of making it illegal to be a faithful Catholic.

Hey, it's like ring baloney. I'd probably be a vegetarian if I had to eat animals in their natural form.
My apologies to anyone not living in PA Dutch country, who don't know what Ring Baloney is.

Its a little messy getting animals from their "natural form" to table, but oh so worth it.

Re: Georgetown University Will Not Offer Student Contraception Coverage
I have no problem with Georgetown offering birth control. I think the Pope advised that birth control is a good thing.

What did they call the mercy camps for the homeless Japanese Americans during WW2?

Re: Georgetown University Will Not Offer Student Contraception Coverage
Maybe I'm confused. Why should Georgetown offer the students contraception. Isn't it free? Why not walk right into the pharmacy and grab it yourself?
