The Democrats Are STILL Trying to Force The Little Sisters of the Poor to Pay for Abortions

There is a large and growing faction of the left that hates Catholics. 

Well, unless they are pro-death and anti-natal. As long as a Catholic bows down to the alphabet gods, they are fine by Democrats. Think Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden. 

The FBI famously labeled traditional Catholics–read, those who hew most closely to catechism–as domestic terrorists in waiting. They placed informants in churches, for God’s sake, as if they were Islamist terrorists because they were skeptical of birth control and abortion. 

The Little Sisters of the Poor are an order of Catholic nuns who have cared for the elderly poor for nearly 200 years. They have been in court for over fourteen years, fighting for protection from the contraception mandate which requires them either provide services like the…

This has been going on for a very long time. You may recall that the Obama administration tried to force the Little Sisters of the Poor, whose mission is caring for the elderly, to cover birth control and abortion in their health care plans. The fact that this violated their First Amendment rights was no barrier to their plans, because Democrats quit caring about First and Second Amendment rights long ago. 

In 2016, the Little Sisters won protection against the federal government at the Supreme Court, and in 2017, a new federal rule was created which exempted groups like the Little Sisters from the mandate. However, more than a dozen state governments in multiple cases immediately…

When the Supreme Court ruled that the Little Sisters of the Poor were protected by the Constitution, and Congress gave them explicit protections based on their religious freedom, most of us assumed that the issue was decided. 

The Little Sisters of the Poor dedicate their lives to caring for the elderly poor until God calls them home. They will continue to fight for the right to carry out their mission without violating their faith and pray for an end to this needless harassment.

Most of us were wrong. As much as Democrats love to blather on about nobody being “above the law,” they only mean that Democrats should control the law and get to decide what it means. 

As with bakers exercising their right to refuse baking a cake for a gay wedding or refusing to make dildos out of pastries, the Democrats can’t leave religious folks alone. It is the principle of the thing. Their job is to dictate to the people, and our job is to comply without complaint.

It is an iron law in their world. Any dissent makes you a Nazi and a multi-phobic. I can’t keep track of the things I am supposedly terrified of. Of all the phobias I am supposed to have, the only one I identify with is the phobia of being taken out by a suicide bomber screaming about Allah. 

That one really bothers me, although even there I don’t live in fear that it will happen to me. The odds are on my side. 

You would think that the left would be smart enough to leave a group called “Little Sisters of the Poor” alone. It’s not like they are great in number or even a household name, and you have to admit that the name itself should warn opponents to keep their hands off. You can’t find a much more sympathetic bunch. 

But of course, for the left, Hamas is sympathetic, and nuns are scary and must be bullied into submission. 

It is impossible to overestimate how much any dissent is intolerable to the left. That is the essence of totalitarianism. In the old Soviet Union, even novelists were so repulsive to the regime that Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn had to be crushed, lest the regime appear weak. 

The same is true here. Little Sisters of the Poor cannot be tolerated, lest anybody else get the idea that liberty still exists in America.
