Last week’s post on the threat to the First Amendment right to free exercise of religion posed by Health and Human Services rules slated to take effect next summer garnered some attention on facebook and google+.
I posted to spread the word, and to point out some unintended consequences of the effort to force pro-lifers to assent to abortion, so was pleased in that regard.
