Obama is making Catholic institutions provide coverage for contraceptives as part of their health care. Of course, this is part of what employers are legally bound to provide in America. But what some people (like John Boehner, Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, and Mitch McConnell) are doing is calling this a war on religion, which is quite ridiculous. And given that the religious institutions pay no taxes, the LEAST they can do is FOLLOW THE LAW.
Really, it's not that big of a deal. Why are Republicans more angry about this than the Pope? Because it helps them stay in office. They also seem to think it'll win them the White House; in truth, it will only alienate the independents. Below, a video with a speaker from CPAC, and Rick Santorum spouting some more of his crazy ideas.
