demand that the Obama Administration revoke new healthcare regulations

Urgently, please help!

Two years ago, we stood together to protest President Obama’s honor at Notre Dame.

Today we need you to join us again—to demand that the Obama Administration revoke new healthcare regulations that blatantly violate our—yours, mine, the Church’s—religious freedom.

But time is running out to submit your comments!  Catholics across America need to STAND UP and oppose this.

Please do it today!  You may quickly and easily submit your comment online.

For weeks, The Cardinal Newman Society has been alerting Catholic college leaders that these new regulations will:

  • require women’s health plans to cover sterilization and contraception, including “abortifacients” that cause abortion…
  • force many Catholic colleges, schools, and charities to violate their CATHOLIC identity by providing immoral health benefits…
  • force college student insurance plans—even on CATHOLIC campuses—to offer FREE birth control and sterilization to college girls!
This is so devastating to the Church, that the U.S. bishops are preparing to launch a nationwide campaign on this critical issue at parishes this weekend.

Please don’t stand by and let the government discriminate against the Church without submitting a comment!

Do it TODAY!

Here is sample text to copy or help you draft your own comment:

The new HHS regulations on sterilization and contraception (including abortifacients) force Catholics to choose between our faith and health care.  By making this insurance coverage mandatory, our government has violated the consciences of faithful Catholics and infringed on our rights to practice our religious beliefs.  The regulations’ religious employer exemption will not protect the hundreds of Catholic colleges, schools, and organizations which are not owned by the Church, but instead run by lay Catholics.  These Catholic institutions—as well as individual Catholic employers and health insurance purchasers—are being forced by the government to violate their religious beliefs.  Mandatory contraception and sterilization coverage in college student insurance plans force Catholic colleges to undermine their missions as Catholic institutions.  Please repeal these regulations and protect the religious freedom of Catholics as guaranteed by the First Amendment.
