FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Mr Boehner pledged new legislation overturning the rule would be introduced shortly and that Mr Obama’s health secretary, Kathleen Sebelius, would be questioned at a committee hearing next month.
Meanwhile Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, a young favourite of the anti-government Tea Party who is tipped to be the party’s vice-presidential candidate, unveiled his own bill in the upper chamber.
“The Catholic church teaches its members that the use of contraception is wrong. You can disagree with that,” he told Fox News. “But the bottom line is, should the federal government be able to go in and force them to pay for contraception, something they teach is wrong? The answer is no.”
Catholic Democrats have also expressed their anger over the scheme. Mr Obama was told by Joe Manchin, a West Virginia Senator: “This is not only unacceptable, it is un-American”.
Aides to Mr Obama have suggested that he may climb down and grant some kind of waiver to organisations who apply for a “conscience exemption”, effectively handing his Republican rivals a victory.
The row in any case threatens to damage his support in November’s election among Catholic voters, a group he won by 54 per cent to 45 per cent over his Republican rival John McCain in 2008.
Timothy Dolan, the Cardinal-designate of New York and president of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, has urged Catholics across America to bring their political pressure to bear.
“Let your elected leaders know that you want religious liberty and rights of conscience restored and that you want the administration’s contraceptive mandate rescinded,” he said.
