During a morning speech welcoming pro-life Pope Francis to the White House, President Barack Obama, with a straight face, told the leader of the Catholic Church that America loves “religious liberty.” Somehow the pro-abortion president was able to keep his composure making the statement despite the fact that his administration has attempted to force Christians across the country to pay for abortion-causing drugs in violation of their conscience without any religious exemption.
“You remind us that people are only truly free when they can practice their faith freely. Here in the United States, we cherish religious liberty,” Obama said in his speech to the Pope.
But, just weeks ago, the Obama administration renewed its attempt to force a Catholic religious order, the Little Sisters of the Poor, to comply with the HHS abortion mandate. The mandate compels religious groups to pay for birth control and drugs that may cause abortions. The Obama administration announced it will continue its legal battle against the Little Sisters of the Poor, a religious order of nuns dedicated to serving the neediest elderly in society. This comes despite the fact that the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby and another company in their bid to stop the HHS mandate.
