WSJ Almost Uniquely Raises Self-Insurance Issue in 'Immaculate Contraception' Editorial - Tom Blumer, NewsBusters

Brings up a great point - what about those companies that self insure? And what about owners of small companies with owners who object to providing contraceptives, abortifacients, etc.?

Obama’s Decline Among Catholics and Everyone Else, By the Numbers - Charles C, Johnson, Big Government
