WND Exclusive, — The Obamacare mandate that requires even religious employers to provide health insurance covering the abortion-inducing “morning after pill” has flopped in the courts, with more cases still pending across the country, according to a leading public-interest law firm specializing in such cases.
The Alliance Defending Freedom notes that the Obama administration has suffered 10 losses and only four victories in defending the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act’s abortion-pill mandate in court, a losing record the alliance of attorneys advocating religious freedom celebrates.
“Americans should be free to honor God and abide by their consciences whether they’re at work, home or at church,” said ADF Senior Legal Counsel Matt Bowman. “Washington politicians can’t confine our faith to the four walls of our churches alone. Honoring God is important every day, in all areas of life, including in our work. The Obama administration’s attacks on faith and business prove that it doesn’t respect either one.”
The ADF points, for example, to an injunction won against the mandate by Tyndale House Publishers of Carol Stream, Ill., the world’s largest privately held Christian publisher of books, Bibles and digital media. Technically owned by the non-profit Tyndale House Foundation, the publisher furthermore directs 96.5 percent of its profits to religious non-profit causes worldwide and specifically objects to covering abortifacient drugs in its employee health plans.
Bowman had argued in court that regardless of Tyndale House’s for-profit status, its religious freedoms are protected by the U.S. Constitution.
The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ultimately agreed, issuing a preliminary injunction order against the mandate, accompanied by an opinion from U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton.
