Opinion
By CORTNEY O’BRIEN obrienc2@allegheny.edu “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the exercise thereof…” This may be the first line of the Bill of Rights, but unfortunately our president does not seem to be familiar with it. In the Obama Administration’s latest attack on our freedoms, all employers must now offer their workers insurance plans that provide and pay for abortion-inducing drugs, contraceptives and sterilization under the Department of Health and Human Services mandate. These [...]
