now kathleen sebelius is facing similar attacks. she is featured tomorrow at an awards ceremony at georgetown university at the public policy institute at the invitation of the students. the archdiocese calls her work on the affordable care act the most direct challenge to religious liberty in recent history. despite the criticism, a columnist from the "washington post" from the brookings institution and tenured professor at georgetown where kathleen sebelius is speaking tomorrow. she will speak, right? >> yes. >> at the invitation of the students. >> it was the students' idea. we always have a committee of students who make this decision. she is perfectly typical of the speakers we have. >> you had paul ryan a couple weeks ago. >> the most important lecture is named after someone who died in 9/11, a faculty member. he gave that lecture a few weeks ago. one of the things i note, i was one of the people on the faculty who signed the letter disagreeing with congressman ryan. didn't want him to speak? >> the first words of the letter w

i served at that time, governor kathleen sebelius did as well. we found out that despite the mandates there are times when you can actually improve care and do a better job and not have to spend more money. that's called regulatory flexibility. it does occur. the reality is there is waste and fraud and abuse and there's a better way of doing thing than the centers of medicare and medicaid suggest. she said at the time there's a war between medicaid services and states around the country. there's a war. this is coming from the current hhs secretary when she was governor, and all i ask here is pass the rhetoric. let's get down to the reality of what occurs. medicaid is a program that should be administered and run by the states, by people that are closest to those in need, and that's what this program will do for us with the changes in this budget. we don't need 50 different -- 50 -- we have 50 different states. we have 50 different education policies and transportation policies, but somehow we have to have the same policy for medicaid, and i think

health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius has been invited to speak at georgetown universityweekend but the invitation is sparking some debate about contraception and religious freedom. karen gray houston has more on this. >> reporter: georgetown is the nation's oldest catholic and jesuit university. the question being raised is whether the school had you had play host for a speaker responsible for a public policy that provides payment for birth control. >> personally, i think georgetown has a tradition of having both sides of any issue being heard whether or not it is in line with catholic values or not. >> reporter: besides, it was a student group that invitedded kathleen sebelius to speak at the public policy institute awards ceremony. >> that is i aposition that oversees some of the largest government programs and some of the largest budgets and that is directly relevant to the things that we are interested in. >> reporter: it is the u.s. conference of catholic bishops waging the campaign. >> we didn't ask for this tight. we like to get along and we like to cooperate. >>

it would look to me, it looks to me like for kathleen sebelius and others that value is limited. it's small and dispensable. here's where i would remark upon the apparent casualness with which the administration adopted -- not the mandate as much but the exception. the very, very narrow exception such that it excludes all of these religious institutions. i'm not even sure it excludes churches but i may come back to that. but it seems to me that the exemption reflects the view that these organizations, catholic hospitals, et cetera, have value to the people who are operating them religious value because it adds a religious motivation for them. and it has a religious satisfaction for them. but these are private delights. and so far so good you might say from the view of the public square but that's just private. it seems the value of these institutions lies entirely with their efficient delivery of secular services. that the hospitals are doing a good job healing people or the catholic grade cools have good test scores. then so much the better. but that's pretty much it. the basic

first of all, kathleen sebelius is the former governor of kansas. she is catholic and she was in charge of the policy and addressing the policy once it became so controversial. what is the political impact of what happened at georgetown? we should point out georgetown's president john edejoya is the same university president who supported sandra fluke when she was attacked over that whole issue earlier in the month or earlier in the spring. >> you know, we've seen catholic political leaders have controversies like this before. remember with john kerry when he was running for president and the issue of whether he would be able to receive communion. it's a reminder we've got to return this year of the culture wars and the reason that could be important is, there's a group of voters, white, catholic who's tend to live in plays like ohio that we know is going to be a key state. they might be democratic on their economic leanings, but concerned about some of these social issues. so this could possibly hurt the president i think with those voters. you kno

[applause] if you think that counts for your exercise for today -- [laughter] it momentum -- doesn't. dean montgomery, members of the faculty, family, friends, graduates, to-be-announced award winners, the student leaders and, again, the graduates, it really is my honor to be with you this morning, and i want to start by saying congratulations. last weekend on mother's day i was at the university of kansas when our younger son received his master's degree, so i know something about the hard work that all of you have been doing and the effort that got you here today. and i also have long and strong ties to this school. i married a georgetown law grad. i'm a hoya mom, the mother of a double georgetown graduate. so in my family, hoya comes second only to rock chock jayhawk. [laughter] and i was really delighted to be invited to speak to you, the public policy graduates. having spent my entire life in

life, religious liberty being two among them and here kathleen sebelius not only fought for abortionthe chief architect and the one implement can this hhs mandate that the bishop has said has been the most outrageous attack on religious liberty in recent history. so coming to speak it would be fine i'm sure with the bishop if she came to speak in a debate. that's what universitied are for. but coming to speak at a commencement activity or event is obviously an award. bill: so the school says, we need to have this discussion. there's nothing wrong with that. we can debate these issues. but why would the school invite her? what is in it for the school? >> it's a great question. there must be a reason. they are not inviting her to debate. they are not having her to a discussion. they have given two explanations that don't pass the gable test and are childish. number one, we don't support necessarily her beliefs. hmm ... you are going to invite her as a commencement speaker? two, the kids made us do it. they actually said that. they said the students wanted her to come. the agenda behind

the feud is over graduation speaker kathleen sebelius. the health and human services secretary played a key role in the new birth control mandate that employers including most religious ones provide employees with contraception coverage. on monday, the president of georgetown said the archdiocese was upset with sebelius over the birth control controversy. the archdiocese says that the president is missing the point. the real concern here is violating religious freedom and issued a statement saying, "the selection of a featured speaker whose actions as a public official present the most direct challenge to religious liberty in recent history, the fundamental issue with health and human services secretary mandate is not about contraception." >>> a small catholic college in ohio says it's dropping health insurance coverage for students. the franciscan university of stubenville says it does not want to comply with the federal mandate that the plan provide free birth control. the school issued a statement saying the rule violates the consisten

health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius will address the graduates of georgetown university's. her graduation address comes despite objections from the catholic archdiocese. it says she is an inappropriate choice for the jesuit school. sebelius played a key role in the new birth control rule that mandates all employers provide employees with contraception coverage. >>> right now leaders of the countries with the world's largest economies are on their way to our area. the g-8 summit will take place this weekend at camp david. the meeting begins tonight. talks will likely focus on containing europe's debt crisis and keeping it from spiraling into a global financial meltdown. frederick county schools are closed today because of the summit. >>> and while this weekend's summit is attracting protests to the western maryland area, they're organizing rallies and demonstrations in nearby frederick. occupy frederick has several protests planned. protesters are also planning a so-called people summit in frederick. another group calling itself the one campaign plans on painting the roads

it would look to me -- it looks to me like kathleen sebelius and others that that value is limited. it's small and defensible. here's where i would remark upon the apparent casualness with which the administration adopted -- not the mandate as such, but the exemption, the very, very narrow exemption, it excludes all of these religious institutions. i'm not even sure it excludes churches, but i may come back to that. but it seems to me that the exemption reflects the view that these organizations catholic hospitals, etc., have value to the people who are operating them, religious value, because it adds a kind of religious motivation for them. it has a kind of religious satisfaction for them. so far, so good you might say from the view of the public square, but that's just private. now, from the public square, it seems to me that the value of these institutions lies entirely with their efficient delivery of secular services. that the hospitals are doing a good job healing people or the catholic -- kids in the grade schools, then so much the better. but that's pretty much it. the basic

it may not be a warm welcome for kathleen sebelius.use she helped shape the federal contraceptive mandate and it's being called the ring of fire, total eclipse of the sun expected to happen this sunday. the best views texas to california. just don't look directly at it. it will hurt your retina. gretch? >> gretchen: never before seen evidence in the case surrounding trayvon mart machine florida has gone public. so how will this affect the case? here to break it all down, peter johnson, jr. good morning to you. we see a couple new piece of evidence. this surveillance video of trayvon martin, the teenger in a 7-11 buying skittles and something else before this attack happened. and now we're seeing more injuries and information about george zimmerman. >> you're right. this is interesting and revealing. we now know that trayvon martin had trace amounts of thc, which is the active ingredients in cannabis, marijuana, in his system. we also know that there is a witness statement that says that trayvon martin was on top of george zimmerman and

that is to say having kathleen sebelius speak. what do you make of it?hings that just -- so many people on both sides of this issue. paul ryan got demagogued for speaking there, and now this comes up. you know, i mean, rick made a point of this during the campaign, that this is -- it's not an issue about contraception, it's forcing a religious institution to do something that was outside the scope of their belief and it's fine if they want to protest sebelius, if they want to protest ryan, i just don't know that it matters all that much. >> something to be said for opposing viewpoints and at least hearing the other side. >> a university. >> it's a great university. >> apparently the students chose sebelius. i think it's clear whether it's georgetown under president dejoya or notre dame under father jenkins are clearly inserting themselves into this debate. and they want to be part of it. because catholics are facing a huge identity crisis right now. voting for president obama by 56% when right to life issues are central to their doctrine, should be expla

washington calling it shocking that georgetown university invited health and human services kathleen sebelius architect of the provision implying employers to offer insurance that includes access to contraceptives and birth control. the washington archdiocese says the health care law stumps on religious freedom because it doesn't allow catholic institution to be exempt from the birth control mandate. it is a challenge to the bishops. >> what do you say to that? >> i think the administration at georgetown has done a good job at standing up for the students and i think they're being supportive of the student body. >> reporter: she says her group, the school's public policy institute only want sebelius to talk about the public service and not about the mandate or con stra sepgz. none of the top officials could go on camera with us. john dejoya said -- it is committed to the free exchange of ideas. >> while firmly entrenched in this controversy, georgetown university has become a symbol of the broader political battle between the kcatholic church an the obama administration. >> reporter: he finds

kathleen sebelius says she believes the administration struck the right balance between religious rightsan rights. watch this extraordinary exchange. >> congressman, i'm not a lawyer and i don't pretend to understand the nuances of the constitutional balancing tests. if you are talking about the preventative services. >> you would agree it's a legal issue. the last time i was in the supreme court i think you and i were there the same day during the oral argument. this mandate is going to wind up in the supreme court. to me it is -- we talk about the politics all we want to, i want to talk about the law. i want to talk about balancing religious liberty with whatever else you think it's appropriate to balance it with because you used the word "balance." which of those three tests is the appropriate test for to us use when considering religious liberty? >> again, congressman, i'm not going to wade into constitutional law. i'm talking about the fact that we are implementing the law that was passed by the congress and signed by the president which direct our department to develop a package of
