As Governor, Romney Maintained Same Contraception Law He Now Blasts

Mitt Romney accuses President Obama of an “assault on religion” because of the requirement that employers provide contraception coverage, the same law that was in effect when he was governor of Massachusetts and to which he didn’t object at the time.

In 2002 — the very same year Romney campaigned for governor of Massachusetts — the state enacted a “contraceptive equity” law that required insurers that provide outpatient benefits to cover hormone replacement therapy and all FDA-approved contraceptive methods. Similar to the Obama regulation, the law exempted “an employer that is a church or qualified church-controlled organization” from …

Court Rules California Gay Marriage Ban Unconstitutional

Submitted by Cheston Catalano

In a 2-1 decision, the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unconstitutional California’s Proposition 8, which said marriage is between one man and one woman.

“Proposition 8 served no purpose, and had no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California,” the court said.

The ruling upheld a decision by retired Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn R. Walker, who struck down the ballot measure in 2010 after holding an unprecedented trial on the nature of sexual orientation and the history of marriage.

In a separate decision, the appeals court …

So it’s wrong when Michele Obama suggests we all eat better, but it’s alright for the government to tell poor people what they can’t eat?…
