OneNewsNow: “A major push is under way to have free contraception included under ObamaCare. A panel of experts advising the government meets in November to begin considering what kind of preventive care for women should be covered at no cost to the patient, as required under President Barack Obama’s overhaul.”

ChristianNewsWire: “The National Catholic Bioethics Center (NCBC) joins reasonable people everywhere who were dismayed that Proposition 8, which defines marriage in California as between a man and a woman, was overturned and declared unconstitutional by a federal judge on Aug 4, 2010. Judge Vaughn Walker’s opinion within which this ruling is made provides an extensive analysis of the issue. The ethicists of the NCBC think, however, that the opinion is irreparably flawed in that it never addresses head-on what constitutes the reality of marriage. Furthermore, the opinion commits itself to a false understanding of unjust discrimination and of the ever important concepts of sexuality and gender.”

Catholic News Agency: “A recent letter from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has asked the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to investigate and take action against Catholic hospitals who refuse to provide abortions. However, critics have said that the letter misrepresents the Church’s teaching in its claim that Catholic hospitals are violating their patients’ right to health care.”
