The new HHS mandate continues to reverberate through the blogosphere. Not too many responses to my blog on the topic, though. I’m wondering if contraception is the hill to make a “religious freedom” stand on.

Hard to think that the public disagreement with Bishop Olmstead of Phoenix didn’t have something to do with it.
To end on a nicer note, via Vox Nova I ran across a lovely essay by Emily Rapp on caring for her child who has Tay-Sachs disease about how to parent a child whose life will be cut short by this disease.
