Today’s Gospel reveals to us the

beginning of Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem.

Along the way he will teach us about the

demands of discipleship. His instructions

may seem harsh and unreasonable. His

response to legitimate requests to post-

pone the journey reminds us that there

are always justifiable excuses to defer the

journey or put off the responsibilities of

discipleship. Some of us must make heart-

wrenching choices, but there is urgency

about Jesus’ mission to bring forth God’s

kingdom. His demand is that we proclaim

the Kingdom of God now. Is this our first

priority, or do we have other priorities?

(CNS) A federal agency has deter -mined that California can continue to demand that all health plans under the jurisdiction of the state’s Department of Managed Health Care – “even those purchased by churches and other religious organizations” – cover elec-tive abortions for any reason. The coverage includes late-term abortions and “those performed for reasons of ‘sex selection.’” The chairmen of two US Catholic bishops’ committees said yesterday that the administrative ruling issued a day earlier by the US Department of health and Human Services fails to respect the right to life and religious freedom.

“It is shocking that HHS has al-lowed the state of California to force all employers – even churches – to fund and facilitate elective abortions in their health insurance plans,” said

Cardinal Timothy M Dolan of New York and Archbishop William E Lori of Baltimore. The cardinal is chairman of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Pro-Life Activities, and Archbishop Lori chairs the USCCB’s Ad Hoc Committee for Religious Lib-erty. “Even those who disagree on the issue of life should be able to respect the conscience rights of those who wish not to be involved in supporting abortion,” they said in a statement. The chairmen called for an imme-diate federal legislative remedy, urg-ing Congress to pass the Conscience Protection Act introduced by lawmak-ers last March. Supporters of the measure, who include the USCCB, say it would ad-dress the situation in California by closing several loopholes in current law. In 2014, the state began demand-ing all health plans under its Depart-ment of Managed Health Care cover elective abortions. The state allows no exemption of any kind. The California Catholic Confer-ence and other churches and religious organizations filed a complaint about the policy with the Office of Civil Rights at HHS asserting that Califor-nia’s reinterpretation of state law

California churches forced to cover abortion in healthcare plans By Editor, Catholic News, June 24, 2016

(healthcare plans continued) violated the federal Weldon Amend-ment, which was enacted in 2005 to protect the conscience rights of physi-cians and nurses who choose not to participate in abortions and hospitals that do not offer them. “This (HHS) administrative ruling fails to respect not only the rights to life and religious freedom, but also the will of Congress and the rule of law,” Cardinal Dolan and Archbishop Lori said, adding that passage of the Conscience Protection Act would “stop further discrimination against people of faith and against all who respect unborn human life.” The cardinal and archbishop wrote a letter in March to House members urging that they vote for the measure, and in April a group of 26 organiza-tions sent a letter to lawmakers stating their support. H.R. 4828, as the bill is known in the House, “is very similar to the abortion nondiscrimination provision that for the last three years has been part of the House’s Labor/HHS appro-priations bills,” the letter said. “It takes the core policy of Wel-don – protecting those who decline to perform, pay for, refer for, or provide coverage for abortion – and writes it into permanent law. It clarifies the protections of Weldon, and adds a private right of action to enforce this law and other long-standing con-science laws on abortion.” Besides the USCCB, signers of the letter included the Christian Medical Association and Catholic Medical Association; the National Council of Catholic Women; the March for Life Education Fund; the National Associ-ation of Evangelicals; the Southern Baptist Religious Liberty Commis-sion; the Knights of Columbus; Na-tional Right to Life; and several asso-ciations of physicians and nurses.
