Abp Lori Denies Partisan Agenda

Abp Lori Denies Partisan Agenda by MSW. MGB: Republicans deny racism when they engage in voter suppression as well.  This is why the Voting Rights Act is about demonstrated impact, not intent.  Regardless of his intent, the more they mention this issue, the more the war on women meme exists in the public conversation.  This will especially be the case once the Justice Department wins summary judgements dimissing the suit because these cases will not be ripe until a final rule is issued.  Even then, it is obvious that some form of line must be drawn when making exceptions to the requirement that all employees be covered.  If they don't like this fact, the more realistic option is for all Catholic employers to continue with the same coverage currently offerred (which includes contraception).  It is still tone deaf of A/B Lori to seek religious liberty for employers but to deny it to employees - especially those who are not Catholic.  Not offering the coverage is such a denial.
