They don't see that certain religious groups may not be exempt from providing the insurance, which would violate their moral and religious views.
The Protect Life Act makes it clear that no funds authorized or appropriated by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), including tax credits and cost-sharing reductions, may be used to pay for abortion or abortion coverage.

That's fine, but it's not just the Catholic organizations that are singled out. That's why I have a problem with this being used to back an alleged "War on Religion". It's not a war on religion, it's a war on conservative viewpoints, and although I may agree with it, let's call it what it is, and not use it as a cheap stunt to try and sway the religious vote.
If Perry really wants to win the public, let him focus on the million jobs he created in Texas, and tell us how he plans to do that nationwide. THAT is an argument I'll listen to!
Great discussion, PO, thanks! Unfortunately, I have to run for now, but I will be back!
