President Obama Vs. The Catholic Church

Catholics are up in arms over the new Obamacare mandate that requires religious employers to cover women’s birth control. Earlier, The Five discussed the controversial issue.

Juan Williams believes this whole issue has been wildly distorted. He said, “The church isn’t being forced to do anything, they don’t have to run hospitals, they don’t have to get involved with health care. They want to.”

Dana Perino weighed in on the debate, saying, “If you are going to go to a Catholic hospital or work for a Catholic organization, you know what their beliefs … It’s not that Catholics don’t use contraception, it just means they shouldn’t be forced to have to do it.”

Listen as The Five debates this controversial issue.
