Regarding the Obama admin mandate on birth control availability for workers has some in the Catholic Church suing the gov't and requirement. The Dept of Health and Human Services "policy that requires employers or their insurance companies to provide contraceptive coverage to employees" is what's at issue. In 2004 in California that state Sup Ct upheld the mandate. But not all in the Catholic Church agree with the lawsuit. "Just 13 of the nearly 200 US dioceses signed onto the suit".

Op ed article by the editor at large of the American Prospect makes the following comment. " The facebook affair provides one more bit of confirmation-not that any should be needed-that our economic system, when left to its own devices and when regulated by rules that powerful interests have shaped, tilts grotesquely toward the rich and their institutions". (TR 5/31/12 Harold Meyerson)
