STATEMENT OF CARDINAL EGAN REGARDING HEALTH-CARE MANDATE

The decision of the Administration in Washington, D.C., to force religious institutions to provide sterilization, and abortion-inducing drugs to their staffs and employees is nothing short of a national disgrace.  To treat the consciences of millions of American citizens as a matter of no consequence is an attack on all the best in the history and traditions of our beloved country.  The decision needs to be reversed immediately and definitively.

Archbishop-emeritus of New York
