Congressional Prayer Caucus Reviews Abortion Mandate Cases
Jan 11th, 2013 | By fyorkThe Congressional Prayer Caucus, co-founded by GING-PAC ally Rep. Randy Forbes (R-VA) recently published a survey of lawsuits against the HHS abortion, contraceptive and sterilization mandates in Obamacare.
The Caucus notes: “The mandate requires most employers to sponsor employee health plans that that cover abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization, and contraceptives—despite the fact that these services directly violate many employers’ religious beliefs. Although the mandate contains a narrow exemption for churches, many religious hospitals, charities, and schools must comply or face significant fines. In addition, private companies owned by people of faith have no relief whatsoever. If they choose to operate their businesses in accordance with their faith, many will face crippling fines.”
