The Constitution says "Freedom of Religion" NOT "Freedom of Worship." My religion is not limited to what I do in a building one day a week. My religion is what I live seven days a week. By forcing us to pay for abortion and abortion drugs the government is violating the religious freedom guaranteed by the Constitution. For all the talk about separation of the church and state this administration does not understand what the founding fathers meant. The founding fathers had seen religious freedom curtailed by the state. Their point was that Americans would be free to serve God as they choose and the government would not interfere. That is exactly what this law does. When we start rewriting the Constitution to fit a particular person or administration's view we are no longer the Land of the Free...where will the theft of freedoms stop?
