Newt Gingrich on Crafting a Republican Platform that Supports Religious Liberty
April 8, 2012
We need an approach trying to stand up very firmly for religious liberty. The assault on the Catholic Church is very real and it's not just the Catholic Church. [...] I think you have a platform that says flatly that the government should not force its values on any religious institution. I think that's a very key part of this. I was at a Baptist school, not a Catholic school, Louisiana College, and the president said they are right to life institutions and the Obamacare is imposing, they will close the institution rather than violate their religious beliefs. Now, you know, George Bush had issued an executive order that guaranteed right of conscience. Obama is doing just the opposite. He's imposing the government.
