Daily Show host Jon Stewart offered his thoughts last night on Thursday’s hearing in Washington D.C. before the House Oversight Committee on the birth control debate.
Bishop William Lori, leader of the Bridgeport Roman Catholic Diocese, was a participant.
Stewart takes aim at Lori’s comments – specifically the Bishop’s story about a Kosher deli – 5 minutes and 16 seconds into this segment.
Fans of Stewart know this, but for those who’ve never watched the Comedy Central program, the host uses adult humor to make his points. You’ve been warned.
While, I adore Jon Stewart’s humor and laughed as usual at his quips. He has missed the issue here. Probably, because he was never taught or never cared to learn what the Constitution says about Freedom to practice your religion, without state interference. So, just as Jon is able to say and joke about any issue he wants, the government has no right to dictate how the Catholics or any other religions (who do not believe in partial birth abortions and morning after pills), should have to pay for them in their insurance. Also, some health plans do not pay for glasses, some do. Read Our Constitution aNd Defend Our Constitution = ROC ‘N Doc.
