It's not trying to force churches to anything. Georgetown or a catholic hospital is not a church. When you have businesses, as a religious org, that have nothing to do with the religious part of your organization, you do as the catholic church did with their hospitals...they are incorporated and non-profits and are separate entities that just happen to be funded by the church. So when you want o act like an employer, you have to follow the same rules that other employers have to follow...which does not give you license to discriminate or treat people differently. The same applies to religious organizations that receive federal funding. They are not allowed to discriminate against someone because of their race, sexual orientation, religion, sex, etc... It's why the Salvation Army no longer gets federal funds...because they refused to stop discriminating against homosexuals.

The debate is about whether or not the government can force a religious institution to do things that are against the moral tenets of the religion. In other words, is the first amendment worth the parchment its written on? This administration doesn't think it is. You are correct that thus debate has been taken over by politics. Like the democrats holding a congressional hearing that to allow people like this student to bring up points that have nothing to do with the original issue of church vs state.

Now that moves this squarely into the realm of politicking and a campaign to destroy Rush. That's not what the debate is supposed to be about at all, and by not accepting the apology she's now shifted the debate into the realm of pure politics. It's supposed to be about women's rights, reproductive rights, contraception etc. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:348003 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
