It seems that the Connecticut Catholic Bishops have circled the wagons and are now presenting arguments in defense of the decision to provide Plan B, the abortive chemical, to sexual assault victims in Catholic hospitals.

When I read the news, my first thought was, “This can’t be true!” But unfortunately, it is. The Connecticut Catholic Conference caved in to political pressure and agreed to provide the morning-after pill to victims of sexual assault when “appropriate testing” is used to determine that the victim is not already with child.

The exercise of legislation via judicial fiat has reached new levels today with the decision of the Supreme Court to decline hearing arguments in defense of religious organizations which do not want to provide contraceptives s part of the drug coverage they offer to their employees.

Well, this is really not a good way to start a Monday, but the news is what it is, so I have to share it with you.

The first time I read the news that the Connecticut Catholic Conference had decided not to oppose the use of the morning after pill for rape victims, I was positive it was a misprint. I was wrong.

I just received the current issue of Life Is Worth Living and I wish it was on line. But there is a web site and I encourage you to visit it.
