Yet it’s noble to commit these same acts if you’re a
Republican. Kinda thought they had a different set of rules.
Newsmax: Virginia’s attorney general Ken Cuccinelli said in an interview Thursday that defying the “tyranny” that is the contraception mandate in Obamacare is important enough to protest and risk going to jail over.
Cuccinelli went on to say that the requirement for health insurers to cover most forms of contraceptives for their customers is an attack on the Roman Catholic Church, which demands civil disobedience.
The suggestion that citizens break the law because they consider it to be an attack on their religious beliefs — Cuccinelli is Catholic, and has said as much — outraged not only pro-choice advocates, but Democrats as well. "For Virginia's chief legal officer to suggest that citizens break the law is not only reckless, it's dangerous," Democratic state Sen. Mark Herring told Fox News.
Here's the law, its being misapplied, thats the crime.
