>>> the obama administration to require religious institutions to require birth control could have an unintended consequence. they said president barack obama has not just give tennessee catholic community a slap in the face , he is telling his pan ining hispan ics to limit our families. thank you so much for joining us.
>> thank you.
>> i just read that quote from the president of the latin association of hispanic leader that president obama is slapping in the face of catholic communities. 28 states have a similar rule in place. is that slap in the face from those 28 other states as well?
>> absolutely.
>> why haven't we been discussing it prior to what decision came down two weeks ago?
>> frankly, it never happened at the national level, at the federal level .
>> if you're saying it's a slap in the face , why wait on the federal level ? why not attack this problem because if a community is being slapped in the face and treated wrongly, why not take one state at a time.
>> let's be fair. in those states the catholic church and other latino organizations have been vocal by decisions made by the state. now we're talking about the is decision made by this administration . a president who claims he's the friend of latinos . all of a sudden going after the catholic church . you have to understand that latinos are people of faith. the majority are catholic . this is not only an attack on religious freedom , but an attack on their church, on their faith. this is going to become a nightmare for the obama administration .
>> would it be a nightmare for mitt romney ? under his leadership when he was governor of massachusetts the same or similar rule applied. is it a nightmare for mitt romney ?
>> well, if he still has that same position, yes, it would be. as we know governor romney has changed his position since then. he's attacked the decision of the obama administration . the problem right now is with the decision from the obama administration . again, it's going to be very hard for the administration to explain this to latinos . you have to understand that lat latinos are angry at this president.
>> we're making this one group. that's wrong, isn't it?
>> all lat all latinos don't think the same as you?
>> no.
>> if we're going to play the numbers game , 78% believe one can be a good catholic without opposing birth control . 98% of catholic women have used birth control . if we play the numbers game then do those voices matter in this debate?
>> we're not playing the numbers game . it's not whether you agree or not with birth control . the question is going after the church, infringing on the religious freedom of the catholic church and catholics.
>> what i don't understand, what part of this decision says you cannot have your religious freedom ? what part stops an individual from saying you're not able to be a good catholic . you can choose not to use the contraception. we're talking about an incredible number of people who work at catholic hospitals and churches who are not catholic . let's keep it to those that are catholic . .
>> it's not about the catholic individual. it's the attach on the institution.
>> the institution is the people. the institution is a bad made up of people.
>> yeah, you have to understand there is a catholic institution. they run hospitals. they run universities. the federal government for the first time in its history is telling the church you have to provide coverage of birth control and sterilization.
>> is there a compromise here that can be made that would satisfy you?
>> yeah, allow the catholic church and catholic institutions to opt out of the that mandate. marco rubio has introduced legislation that would allow catholic affiliated organizations and others who disagree with that mandate to opt out. i think regardless if the administration changes its position, damage has been done.
>> damage hasn't been done for mitt romney who changed his position. i don't understand how it's not forgivable and not if it's change here.
>> it happened years ago in massachusetts. he's had time to explain the change in his position. obama has just made this decision just a few weeks ago. i think it's very different frankly.
>> okay. it's a great pleasure having you on. thank you so much for providing your perspective on this.
