Abortion, Bishops, the ACLU, And Il-legal Immigrant Children or something…

Via AceNeo-Neocon.com

Let’s see if I can summarize:

(1) The Hill has taken to calling unaccompanied children who have arrived in this country illegally “unaccompanied immigrant children.”

(2) There are groups who have government contracts to take care of such children.

(3) Quite a few of these children have been raped.

(4) The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is one of the groups that has such a government contract.

(5) The administration has proposed that such contractors be required by the government “to provide access to contraception and abortion for unaccompanied immigrant children who have been raped.”

(6) The Catholic bishops are objecting to fulfilling the contraception/abortion requirement.

(7) The ACLU is suing, not the bishops, but the Obama administration, in order to gain access to “documents it says will show religious organizations are restricting access to abortions for unaccompanied immigrant children.”

(8 ) The bishops believe their right to refuse comes under the recently-in-the-limelight federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

Wait.  The ACLU isn’t suing because Catholic Bishops have a government contract to take care of illegal immigrant children?  Has the world gone totally Mad?
