Catholic bishops: Biden’s debate remark on contraception mandate not true

Published October 15, 2012

FoxNews.com

America’s Catholic bishops have a problem with Vice President Joe
Biden’s claim that religious institutions won’t be required to pay for insurance coverage that includes contraception, sterilization and drugs
that may cause abortion.

They say it isn’t true.

"With regard to the assault on the Catholic Church, let me make it
absolutely clear,” Biden said during his debate with Republican vice presidential nominee Rep. Paul Ryan on Thursday. “No religious
institution -- Catholic or otherwise, including Catholic social
services, Georgetown Hospital, Mercy Hospital, any hospital -- none has
to either refer contraception, none has to pay for contraception, none
has to be a vehicle to get contraception in any insurance policy they
provide. That is a fact. That is a fact."

The U.S. Conference of Bishops disagreed, and issued a letter on Friday
taking issue with Biden’s position.

“This is not a fact,” the letter states. “The HHS mandate contains a
narrow, four-part exemption for certain ‘religious employers.’ ”

The bishops argue the White House offered a proposal in February that essentially would have put the responsibility of providing such drugs
and services on the institution’s insurance companies. The offer was essentially rejected, and the issue is being played out in roughly 40 lawsuits, including one filed by the University of Notre Dame, in 12
federal courts across the country.
