To the dismay of California’s people of faith, the California Department of Managed Health Care has reclassified abortion as a “basic health service” under the Affordable Care Act and ordered all insurance plans in the state to begin covering surgical abortions immediately Even churches are not exempt from funding abortions.
Rescue opposes this policy that forces men and women who deeply oppose abortion on religious grounds to fund surgical abortion in violation of their faith, and encourages others to oppose it as well.
“Since Obamacare was first introduced, we warned that the day could come when Christians would be required by the state to violate their consciences through forced payments for abortion,” said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue. “Now, with this mandate in California that imposes forced abortion funding on churches, it has come time for men and women of faith to stand against this tyranny and refuse to comply with this unjust law that would make us accessories to the taking of innocent human life.”

I don't see anything wrong with it. Forcing churches (of which are tax free) to provide funding when everyone else has to is not a bad thing. So what if their religion forbids it? Unless you're an extremist religion isn't supposed to be used to control what people can or can't do with their bodies. Religion is a PERSONAL choice, not a rule of law we must abide to. What do you mean see what happens? What have you done to personally help avoid this "take-over"?

So lemme get this straight.
Abortions are a basic health service, but my wife's jaw being out of alignment causing great pain is "cosmetic" and therefore a dental issue. Hence not covered by insurance.
Wtf!
