That is because you live in the present and not in the Dark Ages when the tyrannical Catholic Church ruled with an iron hand

If you rebel against Catholic doctrine, why call yourself a Catholic?

YES! But such decisions of production are usually not from one person. So, when a company is found liable and they are fined, the individuals of that company are impacted. Noticed I said, "within Common Law" which DOES hold people responsible for harm to others. Not so sure about the "spend the rest of their life in prison..." that would depend on the degree of knowledge and neglect on part of those making the product and discovery under due process. In this article we have a case where Sara H. is suggesting that the INSTITUTION or corporation has to abide by the mandate because it's the individual who has the religious freedom and NOT the corporation. But I'm saying the corporation is made up of those "religious" people. Based on her statement, corporations should follow the mandate regardless of the religious conscience of those in the corporation, even if the corporation has as its FOUNDATION and purpose religious beliefs. This is UN-Constitutional!

I guess that will just show how many wicked people live in Minnesota.

I've never seen the catholic church "force its religion" on anyone other than those who belong to the catholic church or work for a catholic institution. The government is most certainly trying to force its religion of humanism upon EVERYONE in the US.

The government is not forcing you to use contraceptives – it is the Catholic Church which is trying to force its religion on to other people and stop them from having freedom.

Utopianism, or unrealistic mentality – the refashioning of people to confirm to all kinds
of distorted views of Christianity. Social engineering to distort divine establishment which was established to protect all persons in a national entity. The government is to protect privacy, property and life.

In Minnesota, gay marriage is against the law. Still this November we get to vote on whether to make gay marriage unconstitutional. Yesterday I saw about the 10th bumper sticker that said "Another Catholic voting NO". Anti-homosexual ballot initiatives have never been defeated in any state. I think Minnesota will be the first.

Then the people behind the corporations should be held liable also. If 50 people die from a defective product, someone should spend the rest of their life in prison but that has never happened.
