Hmm,Does this mean free Viagra for men as well. Clearly a heath concern and family planning aid for those robbed of natural abilities through disease,condition or illness and not by choice.
When are religious entities going to realize that America is NOT a middle ages european country under their "guidance" and control. If they do NOT like the laws of this land and the fact it is a secular culture, then perhaps they should PACK UP and MOVE OUT. That includes the Catholic Church and any of the splinter denominations that split off from her during the Protestant Revolution.
The very reason the USA was created with FREEDOM of Religion and a wall protecting each and every citizen from the tyranny of religion by the constitutionally mandated separation of church and state is because of the brutality and greed within Catholicism and its splinter denominations created in that Protestant Revolution.
If the Catholic Church or any other religious group (christian or otherwise) wishes to teach those "doctrines", so be it, to their followers, in their churches, temples, synagogues, mosques. Their religious followers DO NOT have to partake in anything their dogma says is "wrong", however, STAY OUT OF MY CHOICES.
If the Catholic church or any other religion can NOT stay out of the US political arena, they are spitting on our country, our culture and our constitution and should be viewed as such. We, as a country can NOT make them go away, but if they are having such issues, perhaps they should get the hell out on their own.
But U.S. Catholic bishops say pregnancy is a healthy condition,
And since when are Catholic bishops doctors?
And just exactly how many average pregnancies has a Catholic bishop had?
.................I found an interesting article about the RCC's position on abortion through the ages....and at one time it was permitted, but was changed to the following.....
In cases where only one, either mother or child, can be saved, the Church again, against all human reason and compassion, decreed that it is the child that takes precedence. The reason is not so much to save a life but, due to the Augustinian teaching that unbaptized babies will suffer eternal damnation, simply to allow the baby to be baptized. In fact, according to Bernhard Haring, the mother is obliged to undergo such operations (such as caesarean section, severing the pelvic bone of the interpubic disk) to secure the child's life to allow its baptism. There is, of course, no excluding the possibility that the mother will die due to the operation. Haring has, unwittingly, provided an answer to Pope Pius XI's rhetorical question: What could ever be a sufficient reason to justify the direct killing of a human being? His answer: to provide baptism for the newborn. For he asserted in his book that a "maternally right thinking" mother should risk her life to enable the baby's baptism. [

Recycled Hope,
Great comment.
