As the political Left continues what can only be characterized as invidious harassment against the Little Sisters of the Poor, the Left’s own hostility to basics of the American creed becomes apparent.

The order of Catholic nuns was in two different courtrooms this week trying to protect its religious freedom from destruction by “progressive” state attorneys general. Democratic attorneys general Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania and Xavier Bacerra of California are in effect ignoring a U.S. Supreme Court decision last year by trying again to force the Sisters to provide abortifacient drugs through their healthcare plans.
