And that right there is the problem. In the past mandates always allowed for exemptions on religious grounds. That was understood by all. Now Obama&Co have trashed all that. That's why they're in this mess. They are caught between pro religious groups (of all religions) and the feminists. There is no way to win this. Now they have compromised. Which makes them look weak and unorganized (which they are).However Title VII exempts 4 classes of employers including religious and non-profits....
IIRC, the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act does not exempt non-profit businesses from the requirement of large employers to provide health insurance to employees.
i don't see it as any real compromise....but rather a sleight of hand....
Obama still satisfies his feminist base as contraceptives will now be provided "free" to Church workers by their insurance companies....
Obama thwarts religion and arrogantly walks over business to effectively attain his real goal....that of dictating what is to be....
