and concise. mr. speaker, i rise today out of grave concern on the recent assault on the religious freedom, and the first amendment and our freedom of conscience. the u.s. department of health and human services ordering and requiring every catholic institution larger than a single church and even in some cases a single church to pay for contraceptives, sterilization, and morning after or efficients for the employees is directly contrary to the principles of the catholic faith. let us ensure that we do not confuse the issue here. this is a direct attack against religious liberty for all religions. but forcing catholic schools and hospitals and catholic charities to comply with the federal mandate that allows the core moral commitment of the unborn is unconscionable. this act threatens to sabotage the foundation of the first amendment rights and liberties, and continually chipping away at the constitutional freedoms that set the foundation of this great country sends us down a slippery slope the further government overreach and intrusion into our individual lives. this must be must stop, and we as americans, must stop it. with that, i yield back. >> just another republican voice on this debate
