President Obama Washes His Hands On Contraception.

  In an attempt to satisfy many Catholic,  leaders in the Catholic Church. President Obama, now offers pro life committed Catholics, a compromise of sorts. President Obama,  now proposes that Catholic,  hospitals and schools and other private Catholic,  charities and other non profit organizations will not be required to provide contraception directly to Catholic,  employees, Instead, President Obama,  will insist that individual health insurance companies provide totally free contraception options to any female,  who may be employed at a Catholic,  Hospital, school or Catholic,  charity. One has to wonder, if  the morning after pill is still offered at no cost, by health insurance companies, many leaders in the Catholic Church must be asking themselves,is this really a compromise at all? The fact, that Catholic,  leaders can say, that they aren't offering contraception directly to their female  Catholic,  employees I suppose says,  to the female  Catholic,  employees contraception options like the morning after pill may be offed to female Catholic employees, but the choice to use this type of  contraception I  suppose,  is left up to the individual conscience of  the female Catholic employee. However,  from many committed Catholics,  point of  view this approach is much like  Pontius Pilate,  washing his hands after sentencing Jesus Christ, to Crucifixion. When the Roman governor washed his hands he was saying in affect I am not guilty of shedding the blood of this innocent man. "I am only carrying  out the will of the Jewish people so this man's blood be on their hands."
  At this point, many Catholic,  leaders will have to ask themselves, does the fact, that they do not offer contraception options like the morning after pill directly, to their female Catholic  employees, relive them entirely of  their responsibility,  to protect potential unborn human  life? Since many committed Catholic,  Church leaders,  feel that the morning after pill is a form of  abortion because this pill  prevents the start of  a potential  human life, I would submit to you, that it does not. I believe,  many committed Catholic,  leaders must continue to speak out against this latest so called compromise because,  if  they don't they may find themselves,  seeking to wash their  hands of  the innocent blood of  the yet unborn. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.
