Santorum doesn't care about your child, nor any other child in the world. He is only concerned about his religious fanaticism. My ongoing point about "Pro-Lifers" is that they are only "Pro-Life" when it comes to fetuses. The second they come out of the womb, they couldn't care less.

Obama to Announce Accommodation for Religious Groups on Birth Control Rule -

Whatever today's word from the White House will be, there are certain aspects to keep in mind. These religions who are up in arms over this receive federal funding. They also are employers. Thus, they have to abide by employment laws. That includes having to do as other employers must. Furthermore, religious organizations operate as charitable organizations do, as 501(c)(3) entities. So, they don't have to pay taxes as you and I do. Being a 501(c)(3) means you cannot be a political organization. And yet, you have preachers endorsing candidates, have Rick Santorum preaching, etc. And, these religious organizations are allowed to operate as 501(c)(3)'s regardless. So, if these religions do not want to obey employer laws, they can first give up their tax-exempt status and refuse federal funding.
