| Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman Liberty Counsel 3/21/2012 "We have to pass the bill to find out what's in it." Representative Nancy Pelosi, then Speaker of the House, was correct when she spoke those infamous words. Congress DID have to pass ObamaCare to find out what its full impact would be because there is so much discretion allowed to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to make up new mandates. During the course of my arguments against ObamaCare in the federal courts over the past two years, I warned of the impending mandates. Over the past two years I have said ObamaCare will fund abortion and is the biggest funding of abortion in American history. I also said that ObamaCare will for the first time require employers and individuals to directly fund abortion. With the new mandates requiring employers to fund abortion and the recent one requiring a $1 direct payment from individuals to fund abortion, what I have been saying is now coming to pass. Please see my very important update below - Mat. Jack,It took legislative manipulation, backroom deals, phony promises, and extreme coercion of Congress by White House arm twisters to pass ObamaCare into law, with the final stroke of the pen by President Obama taking place on March 23, 2010 - almost two years ago to the day. The original 2,471 page (425,116 words) law passed by Congress contained only the framework for ObamaCare. The "mandates" and "HHS guidelines" that are now emerging were still unwritten, with wide discretion granted to unelected Washington bureaucrats. Since then, according to Fox Nation. "We calculate ObamaCare regulations to contain 2,163,744 words compared to 425,116 words in the ObamaCare statute. Just how long is 2,163,744 words? By our count the King James Version of the Bible contains 830,314 words. That makes ObamaCare regulations two and a half times as long as the Bible! If you add the text of the ObamaCare statutes to its regulations, they are together THREE TIMES AS LONG AS THE BIBLE!" (emphasis added) That's what we are facing now! New HHS rules are being issued almost daily from Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and other ObamaCare implementers - over 700 new directives so far - WITHOUT any congressional oversight or accountability! ++In recent months, many alarming mandates have emerged. The Department of Health and Human Services has just announced that all FDA approved "contraceptive methods, sterilization procedures, and patient education and counseling for all women with reproductive capacity," will be provided under ObamaCare without cost in their college/student-based health plans - and for women of college age but not attending school. A minimum of one dollar a month from every ObamaCare participant will help pay for someone's abortion. The "abortion surcharge" is cleverly hidden in the insurance premium, but not allowed to be listed as a line item, according to HHS rules. Even though the "contraception and abortifacient mandate" has been much in the news recently, I argued there was a mandatory payment for abortion hidden in ObamaCare during my appearance at the Federal District Court in Lynchburg, Virginia, early in our court battle to stop ObamaCare.The ObamaCare "mandate" requires even religious employers to pay directly (if self-insured) or indirectly (through their insurance company) for contraceptives, sterilization, and abortion inducing drugs. This mandate collides with religious freedom and the rights of conscience! Here's the bottom line: The Obama administration has placed its radical abortion agenda above the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. This administration does not care about the Constitution or your rights to conscience and free exercise of religion.The life-ending mandates contained in ObamaCare (for the pre-born - and in the "death panels") are truly despicable. Unfortunately, the mandates of which we are now aware are only the beginning of what will happen if ObamaCare remains the healthcare system of our nation. If you find these mandates appalling, as I do, then please join me in committing to pray that ObamaCare will be struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court.++We are calling on the Most High Judge to rule on this issue! It's time for ALL friends of Liberty Counsel to unite in prayer - as Joel 1:14 declares, to "Summon the elders and all who live in the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD."
