Democrats try to force Catholic college to cover abortion in medical plans

Here’s an alert from the Becket Fund. (H/T Gateway Pundit via ECM)

Excerpt:

Belmont Abbey College is a small, private, Catholic college located in North Carolina. For 130 years, it and the Benedictine monks who run it have been dedicated to handing on the Catholic faith.

But the Obama Administration is now trying to force them to abandon that faith or go out of business.

You see, the Administration at Belmont Abbey College removed contraception, abortion, and voluntary sterilization from its faculty’s health care policy after discovering it had accidentally been a part of existing plans.

Employees of the school who objected to this change in policy brought a complaint against the school accusing them of “gender discrimination.”

If God does not exist, then there is no such thing as God-given inalienable rights, such as the right to religious liberty. The secular left is always going to side with the feelings of their favored minority groups who vote to elect them. And they hope that religious people won’t notice that their rights are being trampled on.
