The issue of the birth control administration has been discussed on our blogs before, but this article has an interesting angle: the Amish are exempt from such legalization, yet the Catholics are not. Another group that is exempt are members of Medi-Share, a program of Christian Care Ministry. How is the reconcilable with the first amendment of the constitution, the right to one's beliefs?
Sister Mary Ann Walsh writes, "The Amish do not believe in insurance, and the government understands.
Christian Care Ministry believes people should form a religious
community and pay medical bills for one another, and the government says
OK. Yet when the Catholic Church opposes being forced to pay for
services that violate its beliefs, the Administration says 'tough.'"
