Received an email from Senator Santorum about Belmont College (a small, private, Catholic college) and the fact that the talk about respecting Catholic conscience is just that. The actuality are plans to erase respect for conscience from health insurance and law in general.
Seems the Catholic college (for about 130 years) was looking over their health care plan and found 3 non-Catholic ideas (abortion, contraception, and voluntary sterilization). They removed them (naturally) and were then slapped with a discrimination lawsuit.
Looked it up on the web. The story is carried:

Oh, they have said that they will sooner close the school than to be forced to embrace non-Catholic ideals and have had to hire the Becket Foundation for Religious Freedom to defend them,
