John Boehner Demands Reversal Of New Birth Control Rule

[ProfessionalLeftist]

WASHINGTON -- In a rare floor speech Wednesday, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) demanded that the Obama administration reverse its new rule requiring most employers' insurance plans to cover birth control with no co-pay for employees. Boehner pledged to take legislative action if the administration refuses to reverse.

Echoing the argument of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, one of the most powerful lobbying groups on the issue of birth control, Boehner called the coverage mandate "an unambiguous attack on religious freedom in our country" because it includes religiously affiliated organizations, such as schools and hospitals.

“In imposing this requirement, the federal government is violating a First Amendment right that has stood for more than two centuries. And it is doing so in a manner that affects millions of Americans and harms some of our nation's most vital institutions," Boehner said. "If the president does not reverse the [Health and Human Services] Department’s attack on religious freedom, then the Congress, acting on behalf of the American people and the Constitution we are sworn to uphold and defend, must."

4. Or what? He's going to cry?

He needs to put down his drink and stop being a crybaby. It isn't an attack on religious freedom. They are called Labor Laws and if we give a slide to religion, we declare a religion.

5. So vote for Democrats if you want religion out of your personal medical decisions.

Thanks for the clarification boner.

7. Oh John if you don't want to take the pill you don't have to.

What a phony ass non issue this is and no matter how much
Boner, Joe the intern Killer, Fox, and Rick Santorum try to
whip that dead horse it will not get up and win the KY Derby.

Trying to interfere w/ a women's right and access to birth
control and health care just will not play w/women voters.

BTW where is that great republican position of keeping "the
government" out of people's lives?

8. Abort Boehner

Boner should have been aborted. He is the best excuse for it that I can think of.
