*Catholics Students React to Obama Administration Threat against Belmont 
Abbey over Abortifacient "Contraception" Coverage*

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com 
<http://www.lifesitenews.com/>) - Students at Catholic universities 
across the nation are banding together with students at Belmont Abbey 
College (BAC) in a stand for religious liberty and conscience rights, 
after the college was warned by the Obama administration last month that 
its refusal to cover contraception amounted to gender discrimination.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) ignited the First 
Amendment firestorm earlier this month when it ruled Belmont Abbey 
College was wrong not to include coverage for contraception in its 
employee health insurance plan, despite the Catholic Church's 
prohibition on contraception as intrinsically evil. In addition to the 
Church's teachings against contraception as such, it is known that 
hormonal contraceptives often function as abortifacients.

According to BAC president William Thierfelder, while the local EEOC 
initially threw out the complaint, the decision was reversed after the 
affair went to officials in Washington.

Students from the University of Dallas, Franciscan University of 
Steubenville, De Sales University and Catholic University of America are 
fighting back, saying the EEOC decision is a troubling indication of the 
Obama administration's ideas on "reasonable" conscience protection.

"People need to wake up," said Michael Barnett, American Life League's 
director of leadership development and its LiveCampus college outreach 
program. "Under Obama, the federal government is forcing a religious 
institution to commit an act that violates its core values. This is 
religious persecution and a clear signal of what Obamacare would bring. 
This is the government imposing its will against the people's will."

In a letter to the Belmont, the EEOC claimed that the school 
discriminated against women by not covering contraceptives: "By denying 
prescription contraception drugs, [the college] is discriminating based 
on gender because only females take oral prescription contraceptives. By 
denying coverage, men are not affected, only women."

In a letter subsequently sent to EEOC chairman Stuart Ishimaru, Judie 
Brown, president of American Life League, pointed out, "The Catholic 
Church teaches that contraception is an evil and certainly not the sort 
of 'treatment' one would expect to find in a health insurance plan 
designed for staff at a Catholic facility. Your discriminatory actions 
against the college are unfounded and unconstitutional."

William K. Thierfelder, Belmont's president, affirmed that rather than 
provide contraceptive coverage, "We would close the college."

"This debate is part of an ongoing political struggle between the 
faculty and the administration of the school, and it entirely excludes 
the students and the monks of the Abbey," commented Ann Visintainer, a 
senior at Belmont. "We here at the Abbey pray the conflict may be 
resolved in a respectful and peaceful way, and in the meantime, we will 
continue to support and cherish human life in all its forms."

Not only are Catholic schools across the country running to the aid of 
Belmont, many are gearing up for First Amendment fights of their own in 
light of the Obama health care "reform" plan.

"This is an incursion into private religious belief," explained Larry 
Meo, president of De Sales University Students for Life. "The EEOC is 
attempting to impose a set of values on a certain group of colleges, and 
this is the very thing the president spoke against during his campaign."

Katie Prejean, a Crusaders for Life member at another Catholic college, 
the University of Dallas, agrees: "True Catholic academies are no longer 
safe from the Obama administration's desire to manipulate every 
citizen's health care, regardless of religious freedom."

Martha McAdams, a student at the University of Dallas and president of 
Texas Students for Life, the statewide student pro-life organization, 
summed up the issue at the core of the standoff between the Obama 
administration and Catholic institutions: "At the University of Dallas, 
as at most Catholic universities, abortion is purposely not included in 
the university- provided health insurance because it goes against a 
natural belief that all human life is precious."

*Obama Calls Abortion Funding in Healthcare Legislation a 'Fabrication'*
http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/aug/09082002.html

In a conference call with faith leaders yesterday, President Obama said 
it was a "fabrication" and "untrue" that his health care legislation 
involved "government funding of abortions."   But pro-life leaders 
immediately responded to the president's statement, pointing out that it 
simply does not align with the facts of the House bill's content.

*Poll: Majority of Americans Believe Obama Health Care Would Cover Abortion

As the health care debate has heated up around the country, a large 
coalition of pro-life and religious organizations have stepped up their 
efforts to inform the public of the dangers of provisions in the Obama 
health care reform plan that would federally fund abortion. And it 
appears their efforts are working.

*Statewide Campaign Against Tax-Funded Abortion Launched in California

DFW Catholic
Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust announced they will be organizing 
with pro-lifers throughout California to campaign against tax-funded 
abortion in Obama's Healthcare Reform bill. The campaign, which starts 
Thursday, Aug. 20th, will feature demonstrations and protests in cities 
across California, asking elected officials to guarantee that tax-funded 
abortion will specifically be excluded from the bill. Currently the 
Healthcare Reform bill includes wording that will allow for tax money to 
pay for abortion as "reproductive care."
