Are you a fan of torture, but uncomfortable with women taking birth control pills? Do you like to write long memos arguing that the president has the power to ignore inconvenient parts of the Constitution, but oversteps if he goes against the wishes of particular small groups of religious leaders? How do you feel about preemptive war? Does bombing other countries seem like a less conscience-tweaking thing than the thought of your insurance company covering contraception for people who might be having sex in ways that you personally disapprove of?
Well then, good news! From the folks that brought you illegal wiretapping, invading the wrong country, indefinite detention and the president could torture children if he feels like it comes a brand new group catering to your excruciatingly narrow "religious conscience"!


A collection of prominent center-right leaders, including multiple top Bush administration officials, have founded a new advocacy group to advocate for measures exempting religious organizations from federal rules governing contraception coverage, POLITICO has learned.
Among those involved in planning the group are former presidential adviser Mary Matalin, former Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie, former RNC Chairman and Veterans Affairs Secretary Jim Nicholson, former Rep. Bill Paxon, former Boston Mayor Ray Flynn and New York Rabbi Meir Yaakov Soloveichik.

4. The mind

SHRIVELS. There is nothing anyone can dream up anymore that is so insane that it will not show up as a true news story within two weeks.

5. Contraception is the tip of the iceburg

Once they get contraceptive coverage blocked from the mandate, it's going to end up being AIDS medication for moral reasons, and pretty much anything expensive for "moral reasons". They just won't tell you it's for "moral reasons" until you file a claim.

All of those people that you mentioned are very wealthy or have cadillac health care plans. They could care less if the 99% end up with "coverage" that costs a fortune and covers nothing. That's pretty much the plan. As if insurance companies aren't already insanely profitable as it is.
