The battle for religious freedom begins

What has been called a fight for religious freedom for Catholics all over America has begun and voices from small towns to big cities are being heard. Catholic bishops, religious leaders and those of the Catholic faith have expressed outrage at being forced to go against our religious beliefs.


In letters, online blogs, emails, and videos, many are calling a mandate under Obamacare an attack on the Catholic religion and an attack all religious freedoms and a violation of the Constitution. Under the new healthcare law, all employers including Catholic employers must provide employees with health care that covers sterilization, drugs that induce abortions, and contraception which are all against the beliefs of the Catholic religion.


Last time I checked this was AMERICA and we have the right to practice any faith. I feel this is an open attack on my religion and how can we be forced into something that goes against the cloth of the church? Obama is violating our 1st Amendment right. Where has our great nation gone and how do we gain it back? 

1st Amendment-

I. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
