You I want to ask you also wanna I wanna.

Get your opinion on the contraception.

To -- I'm now more lawsuits.

By a Catholic institutions including the Archdiocese of New York filing up in federal court.

A lawsuit against the Obama health care overhaul plan mandate.

On contraception that is our question of the day so at foxnews.com.

We want you to weigh in and then we'll have the results for you.

The question is does the requirement for employers provide birth control coverage.

Violate religious freedom I think this is an amazing question I Erica I'm kind of surprised that we're here -- So well this is now going to be -- it if you listen to all the great legal minds debate the First Amendment.

And site all sorts of precedent it's hard to seek -- which way this one's gonna go.

I mean it it there's great arguments and there's great cases that there that have already set precedent on both sides of the -- Can you make a school -- in your opinion like Notre Dame which has very.

-- and religious views.

Hand out.

I think is that I didn't crazy yet it's brought -- -- -- that they get this is a big deal for a Catholic university because strongly against it.

The government should not be involved and that's -- back the question here that -- if the government can control this I have no limit on government I I think.

It's too much government encroachment and they are unhappy about it -- -- -- -- -- every step of the way out -- in court so you know guys.

You have been you know in 99 US Supreme Court did make a decision.

That was the employment division vs -- that was the case that established -- groups can't -- the religion as an excuse to disregard.

Generally -- Actions -- there and that's what -- sites we'll see what happens that I just think it's terrible thing government get out too much it's it's getting worse than ours ours it seems to me upset especially now that president Obama's provided that college students up -- age of 26.

Can be on their parents' health insurance coverage.

That if you're a student at a Catholic university or you're employed at a Catholic institution you're under that age and you want contraception.

You might have other ways of -- us.

Planned Parenthood if that and parents -- which of course a lot of people are not happy with but it's there as well Obama care I mean you can get.

That now that I -- you can get contraception when you go to the local -- -- -- supposed fly.

Mandating a university that doesn't believe and that has.

We'll -- -- importantly it's.

Where that debate lies where the argument is you know where all the friction is on this today the end around is that you can get contraception and in a different way.

Directly any commodity be it can be taken.

So why exactly so why a cake college university and -- Foursome and this is the government forces and a -- -- -- believe that and they are looking into ways now because they no problem I'm looking away that there be able to do this.

And still happen.

-- the health and they'll say.

He's -- -- -- -- you know what at what a rock star in the a Catholic community and he's only the way on this and he is very.

-- articulates a big name of nickname behind this.

This action.

And the and the Supreme Court will render their.

Conclusion decision on health care in short order.

Yeah I mean look health health health care in general.

I mean -- -- how that goes a lot of it will will define Obama period -- it if hit it.

If what referred to as obamacare does not stand -- That you DNA test of time it will be a big statement about as president.

We'll take take -- -- both sides of that each of you Eric you first.

If it's upheld what does it mean for the president and if -- official public doesn't necessarily mean that that is that this health care bill's gonna remain intact I mean.

It there's all sorts of issues -- -- to me the real problem this is I'm not that I'm not taken a Republican or Democrat.

Perspective on this is now look at it helps can't -- actually I'm confused I won't have this bipartisan panel here today because it.

The problem -- -- everybody I think everybody should be saying is health care stinks in this country is lousy.

I don't care what.

It hit the doctors don't make enough money to patients don't get enough care and nobody can afford it will.

All parts of -- are broken.

We need to fix our entire health care system period and administration says this is the answer and well I -- you know I don't know all I hope is that.

Most government run organizations that I'd ever been -- are completely dysfunctional.

And I agree with you thank you for making my point and an -- like that -- -- the government is involved too much obamacare is huge there are a lot of problems with it.

You know this was something I was ramrod it through very it it barely barely made it so it's not popular and it's interesting -- on the anniversary of obamacare.

Really nothing happened -- it and Cecilia tweeted.

I mean it's that I can tell you that they know their problems with that -- to -- -- intact Catholic community or at least get.

Portion of the Catholic community not that politically either yeah look I know risk right wouldn't.

Many of those people if they feel that strongly about this issue have voted for president Obama's reelection in the first place.

You know I think -- make an impact.

I don't and I I thought I get him I think it's one of the many issues that we're gonna discuss.

That that has nothing do with the price of gas how much my house is worth or at -- house has worked so well it is today.

I sat at attention as I know I know I've done OK in my neighborhood but -- -- it doesn't it's not just post things that affect people every single day of the when they get up in the morning.

I think you're going to be much more important than many social issues.

Agree I think that is more important that is -- and that runs and happy image because he's the economic guy in the pro business candidate.

And now you know Barack Obama had three happy years it was going wow well as far as -- that it's the economy economy try and as I out.
