Former Dem congresswoman: “I wouldn’t have voted for Obamacare if I’d known about HHS regulation”

Former Dem congresswoman says she wouldn’t have voted for Obamacare if she’d known it would require insurance coverage for abortifacients. A Catholic useful idiot pol rues being played, but she still doesn’t get it: “I trust that the President will honor the commitment he made to those of us who supported final passage.” Get a clue, lady: his commitment and the yogurt in our ‘fridge both expired two years ago. Give it up.

  • Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. . .

    ******
    THe law appears to be unconstitutional. Perhaps having a list of cooperating insurance companis that DO offer birth control and abortion funding could be offeed to employees that want those services covered. This isn't a discussion of whenther the Church is right or wrong in their stand. It is a matter of constituional law. Of ourse, the Constitutional law professor shouldhave seen this coming!

  • See what happens when you vote for something without reading it? That's right, you get your ass fired!!!

  • She should have read the damned bill before she voted for it. Pelosi warned the entire world there was shit in there nobody knew about.

  • Wow. Thrown under the bus. Ran over by the bus and doesnt realize she was thrown under the bus. Even duct tape cant fix stupid.

  • Comes the dawn. Obama is an agile, chronic liar, never listen to what he says but always watch what he does.

    ...and what he's doing is destructive to America.

    • Beat me to it. That quote jumped off the screen at me, didn't know if I should laugh or cry.

  • Watch the Obamastration closely on this one. They will waffle for one reason only and it won't be for the sake of religion. It'll be for the Latino vote that is associated with the Catholic church.

    • I hope the Obama Administration stupidly persists in their attack upon religious freedom. It gives Republicans a chance to pick up many Hispanic votes. It gives Republicans a chance to get Catholic swing voters and it may rouse the portion of sleeping evangelical voters who wouldn't vote otherwise. I suspect meetings are being taken inside the Obama Administration as to ways to back off their employer contraception mandate without irritating their base too much.
