TPM: Kerry Becomes Latest Dem to Oppose Obama on Contraception

11. Why go to anti - Catholic rhetoric on a completely unrelated issue

The Obama administration has ALREADY said they are working on a compromise - and I didn't see you complaining.

I think I will wait to see what the compromise is before blasting OBAMA for making it. The fact is that Kerry is supporting the administration here. Now, if Kerry demanded Obama do something BEFORE Obama spoke of compromising, you would have a case. However, Kerry is following Obama by at least 3 days.

Not to mention, this is not a gratuitous attack by the Catholic church. It has been their position at least since the 1960s! The fact is the church members have not followed that guidance. I would have more of a problem if the church said that they fought this provision for EVERYONE. It is a bit different when they are the ones negotiating the healthcare plan offered and paying for all or most of it. They are being asked to pay for something that they oppose. (I know many of us pay through taxes with wars we disagreed with, but this is closer to home - they are writing the check directly.) However, if there is no compromise, they will have to do this - and I have no doubt they will - just as I paid my taxes.)
