The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), also known as “Obamacare,” has a lot of mandates in it. The “individual mandate” that requires every American to purchase health insurance is probably the best known and most talked about. But there’s another, much more pernicious mandate in it that many Americans still are not aware of: A mandate regarding drugs that cause abortion.
The Family Research Council out of Washington, D.C., has filed an amicus brief as part of the lawsuit against Obamacare.
The brief argues that the unconstitutional nature of the individual mandate in the national healthcare bill makes the entire 2,700 page bill unconstitutional. According to FRC, “FRC’s earlier brief was instrumental in Florida U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson’s decision to strike down the entire Obamacare law as unconstitutional.”
Ken Klukowski, Director of the Center for Religious Liberty at the Family Research Council, has put together a great breakdown of the looming Obamacare fight at the U.S. Supreme Court. It is a must-read. Check it out by clicking here.
