First Lady Hails Free-Contraception Mandate: 'We Made History'

(CNSNews.com) – First Lady Michelle Obama boasted at a campaign event in Omaha, Neb. on Tuesday that "we made history" when the president's health care proposal was enacted and the administration issued a regulation mandating that insurance companies provide women with free contraceptives.

"Two years ago, we made history together by finally passing health reform," said Mrs. Obama. "And because we passed this law, insurance companies will now have to cover basic preventive care--things like prenatal care, mammograms, contraception--at no extra cost."

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) finalized the "preventive services" regulation in January and it will take effect for most employers on Aug. 1. The regulation mandates that nearly all health insurance plans in the United States must provide women with sterilizations and all FDA-approved contraceptives (including those that can induce abortions) without any fees or co-pay.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and many Catholic leaders in the United States have voiced strong opposition to the mandate because they say it would force Catholics--whose church teaches that sterilization, contraception and abortion are wrong--to act against their consciences and the teachings of their faith. In comments submitted to the Department of Health and Human Services, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops called the regulation an "unprecedented attack" on religious liberty and asked the administration to rescind it in its entirety.

A number of Catholic institutions, including Ave Maria University, Belmont Abbey College, and EWTN, have sued the administration over the regulation arguing that it violates their First Amendment right to the free exercise of religion.

  • Shes the Queen of Evil. What we have in the WH is King & Queen of Evil & Destruction. They are having the time of their lives living on our tax dollars like Hollywood Celebrities, jet setting all over the world, staying at the most expensive Hotels and Homes, Wearing High priced clothes, having servants at their beck and call, her w/her Make up artist and hair stylist and clothes stylist who go w/her on her extravagant vacations etc While we worry about the next meal or if we will be out on the streets any day because we cannot afford our homes. 

  • Do not call her queen, her White House stated she prefers to be called, "Her Highness". 

  • She is Mrs Obama, the President's wife....they are both confused!!!!!!!!!!

  • Victory.. she is just another really bad joke on the American people. Too bad the overly emotional liberals think this is a good thing. Not the slightest regard for the fact that now insurance companies will just jack up the cost to everyone.. share the wealth. Does anyone realize how many times in the past 100 years stupid people have fallen for that same line?

  • ONly 1 answer to this as well as what's coming down from this White House, quote from a republican congressman yesterday....."HOW CAN ONE LIVE BEING DUMB. DEPENDENT, DEMOCRAT".  This quote should be Enshrined !!

  • DOES "THE QUEEN" KNOW  SOMETHING THAT WE DO NOT KNOW? 

  • Then some people still wonder why she  surrendered their license to practice law the day before it would've been revoked .

  • JW asks "Could this be avoided with education?"

    To a certain extent, yes. If education is allowed. But there is the RC church in the way for most Latinos and a significant percentage of Non-Hispanic Whites.

    But how do you 'educate' a 110 pound woman with a horny 220 lb 'boyfriend' with six beers on board? She needs primary prevention (run like hell), secondary prevention (be on the pill) or tertiary prevention (the option we want to avoid).

    If you want her vote, you will need to provide all three. Maybe that'll get her boyfriend's vote, too.

    But you already know who they are likely voting for now. And he doesn't have an (R) after his name.

    And he'll be sure they vote, perhaps several times.

  • This is like "silence of the lambs", when Hannibal asks Clarice, did you save the lamb, do you still hear them in your sleep?   The mean uncle is still slaughtering those poor little lambs after he sheers them, see any similarity ?

  • Could this be avoided with education? First thing first, you have to show up to get one.

    U.S. census shows these staggering statistics: Need I say more?

    Children in single-parent families by race (Percent)

    Non-Hispanic White 24%
    Black or African American 66%
    American Indian 52%
    Asian and Pacific Islander 16%
    Hispanic or Latino 41%
    Total 34%
