Valin Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 The Foundry: Sarah Torre April 27, 2012 Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius made yet another embarrassing admission about the lack of constitutional analysis that went into the HHS anti-conscience mandate on Thursday. At a full committee hearing of the House Education and Workforce Committee Secretary Sebelius was repeatedly questioned by Representative Trey Gowdy (R-SC) on whether she had consulted Supreme Court precedent or any official legal memo before publishing a rule that burdens religious liberty of employers. Under the mandate, almost all employers are forced to provide and pay for coverage of abortion-inducing drugs and contraception — regardless of any moral or religious objections to such services. Referring to Secretary Sebelius’ statement earlier this year that promised an accommodation that “strikes an appropriate balance between respecting religious freedom and increasing access to important preventive services,” Rep. Gowdy sharply questioned the Secretary’s understanding of a constitutionally permissible “balance.” (Snip) OUCH! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
