They Thought the Habits Made Them Look.... Non-Affiliated

A US federal appeals court has ruled that the Little Sisters of the Poor must comply with the contraceptive mandate in the “Obamacare” health plan.
The Tenth Circuit Court ruled that the Little Sisters are not an exempt religious institution because they are not directly affiliated with any particular house of worship. The court said that the Obama administration has provided sufficient accommodation for non-profit organizations—such as the Little Sisters—that have moral objections to providing contraceptive coverage. 





From the website of the Little Sisters of the Poor:
 
The Little Sisters of the Poor are an international congregation of Roman Catholic women religious founded in 1839 by Saint Jeanne Jugan. Together with a diverse network of collaborators, we serve the elderly poor in over 30 countries around the world.

I hereby declare that the U.S. Federal Court of Appeals are not directly affiliated with anything resembling truth or common sense.
