Evangelicals and Catholics unite against HHS mandate
Before Wheaton’s move, most plaintiffs suing over the mandate were Catholic colleges and organizations that follow the Vatican’s teaching against birth control. Most of the 58 plaintiffs in the 24 lawsuits are Catholic dioceses, colleges and charity groups.
But Wheaton’s involvement shows that Catholics aren’t alone in opposing the mandate, since many evangelical Christians view certain forms of birth control, such as the “morning-after” pill, as equivalent to abortion.
“The list of required services includes ‘morning after’ and ‘week after’ pills that claim the life of an unborn child within days of its conception,” Wheaton President Philip Ryken wrote in the Wall Street Journal Wednesday.

The ‘dead babies are us’ mob have already passed the juncture where bashing in a new born babes skull with a baseball bat is an acceptable method of ‘reproductive health’.
These ’enlightened ones’ cannot bring themselves to criticize throwing a infant out of a two story window, or the chi-coms murdering a viable infant, or sex selection abortions.
They are all about identifying ’hate crimes’ but no malevolent motive can be assigned to a choice for a dead baby.
