Last week the Obama Administration issued a set of rules and regulations it said would alleviate concerns Christians and others have about the mandate that employers–including many religious employers–pay for contraception and abortion-inducing drugs under the new healthcare law. The new rules, however, change little.
From Alliance Defending Freedom:
“The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit issued a preliminary injunction Wednesday that blocks enforcement of the Obama administration’s abortion pill mandate against family-run Grote Industries, an Indiana-based vehicle lighting manufacturer that filed suit in October of last year.”
This is the latest setback for the HHS contraception mandate. According to ADF’s website, the Obama Administration is losing 10-4 in court on this issue.
Today members of the House Public Health Committee voted to pass HB1037 by Representative Andy Mayberry.
