Contraception mandate should concern all Americans, Cardinal says :: EWTN News

Contraception mandate should concern all Americans, Cardinal says :: EWTN News

"The federal contraception mandate should be of “grave concern” to all Americans and not just Catholics, says Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston.
Cardinal DiNardo, who heads the U.S. Bishops' Committee on Pro-Life Activities, said that the new mandate and its “compromise” will force Catholic institutions to either abandon their mission of serving people regardless of their faith or violate basic teachings of the Catholic Church on birth control and abortion.
“To be coerced by the federal government into choosing one of these options is wrong,” Cardinal DiNado said in a Feb. 17 column for the Houston Chronicle."
