Obama Faces More Lawsuits Over Pro-Abortion Mandate
(LifeNews.com) The Obama administration is facing yet another lawsuit related to the controversial mandate President Barack Obama put in place that requires religious employers to pay for coverage for birth control and drugs that may cause abortions. Alliance Defense Fund Senior Counsel Gregory Baylor will join Geneva College President Ken Smith Tuesday at a press conference to announce a new federal lawsuit against the Obama administration over what ADF and the college call its “unconstitutional mandate that religious employers provide abortifacients, sterilization, and contraception to employees regardless of religious or moral objections.”
“People of faith shouldn’t be punished by the state for following that faith in making decisions for themselves or their organizations,” said Baylor. “Every American should know that a government with the power to do this to anyone can do this–and worse–to everyone.”
Smith, the president of the Christian college, added, “At Geneva College, we only have one Lord, and he does not live in Washington, D.C.” He continued: “The First Amendment protects Americans from mandates that require us to act against our own convictions. We find the mandate to provide our faculty, staff, and students with insurance that provides pills to abort babies totally abhorrent and unacceptable. The government shouldn’t be able to force anyone to buy or sell insurance that subsidizes morally objectionable treatments.”
