President Obama wasn't mentioned by name, but he was clearly the target Thursday as the nation's Roman Catholic bishops began their "Fortnight for Freedom" campaign with a renewed attack on a federal mandate for private employers to provide free contraceptive coverage to workers.
The mandate, Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore told worshipers at a nationally televised Mass, "will force conscientious private employers to violate their consciences" by making them offer "reproductive services that are morally objectionable."
The Catholic Church considers birth control a sin, and has strenuously fought the Obama administration and its Department of Health and Human Services over the rule, which goes into effect Aug. 1.

May the fetuses they save all be gay.

They drop a few pennies in the poor box and then kick the needy out into the street without medical care and a place to live thanks to the Teaparty/Catholic alliance.
It's only gotten worse since they elected that old Nazi "The Ratz" as their despotic leader.
