@ Elizabeth Warren hits Scott Brown over birth control, health care
“It’s elitist for Elizabeth Warren to dictate to religious people about what they should believe and how they should act. She wants to use the power of government to force Catholics to violate the teachings of their faith,” Brown spokesman Colin Reed emailed. “That is wrong. This issue deals with one of our most fundamental rights as a people — the freedom of religion. Like Ted Kennedy, Scott Brown supports a religious conscience exemption in health care.”
Why does the “religious freedom” stick have only one end? What about the religious freedom of those who are being imposed upon by their employers?
