We encourage all people of faith to vote in this presidential election. In January, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued a mandate under the Affordable Care Act that forces all employer health plans [including faith-based schools, hospitals and social service agencies] to provide abortion inducing drugs, among other things, that directly contradicted the moral teachings of Catholic and other Christian churches.
Instead of respecting the religious liberty of these faith-based groups, Obama countered with a deceptive propaganda stunt called, "a war on women," in an attempt to silence people of faith. In addition, he gave prominent speaking slots at the Democratic National Convention to Planned Parenthood and the National Abortions Rights League.
It is time to stand up and be counted. Don't be duped by Barack Obama and those in the liberal media. People of faith rise up and vote. Your religious liberty is at stake.
Tony and Susan Conrad, Altoona
