Sarah Palin Calls President Obama’s Contraceptive Mandate An ‘Un-American Act’
Appearing on On The Record with Greta Van Susteren Tuesday night, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin strongly lambasted President Obama‘s plan to make religious employers offer contraception coverage in their health insurance plans, calling it an “un-American act.”
“Welcome to government-mandated health care!” Palin snarked. “Very poor politics they would choose such a battle. One, to pick a fight with faith-filled Americans. You know, we will fight — as the father had said earlier on the Hannity show — we’ll fight to the death for our freedom of religion and for the rights that are protected by our United States Constitution. This is an un-American act of our president. Anything that would so blatantly violate an amendment within the United States Constitution is un-American.“
“Barack Obama needs to rethink what he has just done to the people of America,” Palin continued. Because we are rising up on this one, we’re not going to back off and say, ‘Okay, it is all right that such a violation of conscience. Such a violation of those things that our founders fought and died for, we’re going sit back and let it happen to us.’ Not this time!”
