Obama's feud with nuns goes to Supreme Court
'The Little Sisters of the Poor should not have to fight their own government'
Religious groups like he Little Sisters of the Poor face up to tens of millions of dollars in IRS fines for not complying with the Obamacare mandate. The Little Sisters of the Poor is an international Catholic institute that cares for the elderly. The Sisters consider it a sin to provide their employees health coverage for contraceptives (including drugs classified by the FDA as abortion-inducing) as required under Obamacare, and they want the same kind of exemption given to churches.
............“The Little Sisters spend their lives taking care of the elderly poor – that is work our government should applaud, not punish,” said Mark Rienzi, senior counsel of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, in a statement released Friday. “The Little Sisters should not have to fight their own government to get an exemption it has already given to thousands of other employers, including Exxon, Pepsi Cola Bottling Company, and Boeing. Nor should the government be allowed to say that the Sisters aren’t ‘religious enough’ to merit the exemption that churches and other religious ministries have received.”
