Birth-Control 'Compromise': Not Everyone Is Buying It

The Daily Caller's Neil Munro has an interesting article about Obama's speech Friday announcing religious organizations -- such as the Catholic Church -- will not have to provide coverage for sterilization and other birth-control measures that violate their beliefs.

The gist of it is, who qualifies as a "religious" organization?

The article essentially boils down to this:

"Obamas proposed rules would also cover large churches, which operate ancillary services, such as day-care centers, job-training activities and food banks, from building attached to churches.

"However, the establishment of the federal power over religious organizations and their congregations would allow federal officials to offer or withhold religious status to favored or disfavored church-run nonprofits. The power to offer, and the power to withdraw, benefits would enhance state power over churches, and spur continued church-state controversy and regulation of churches by progressives."
