Ryan condemns contraception requirement in Orlando

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan on Saturday derided President Obama's space program and called his administration's requirement that hospitals and universities, including Catholic ones, be required to offer contraception an "assault on religious liberty."

Ryan promised at a town hall meeting in Orlando that GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney would reverse the contraception mandate on "Day 1" if he is elected president. The mandate requiring all insurance plans to include access to contraception was part of Obama's health care overhaul.

Ryan's comments came in a response to a woman's question about whether he would ask Vice President Joe Biden in a debate how he reconciles his views as a Roman Catholic with the Democratic Party platform.

Both Ryan and Biden are Catholic.

1. This should be a new Obama ad. nt

2. We need to attack this idea more forcefully...

If I'm an employee of a Catholic organization (full disclosure: I am) forcing me to accept health care coverage that conforms to my employer's religious beliefs violates MY freedom of religion. It also endangers my health and the health of my family.

5. Well said, Jeff.

That is exactly the issue here. Your employer should not be allowed to impose their religion on you. That interferes with your religious freedom and your medical care. If your employer happened to be Christian Scientist, would they be allowed to pay only for faith healers? It's a bad precedent to exempt contraception.

If you are catholic, and don't want birth control, don't use it.
