Churches Now Forced To Pay For Abortions

Life Legal Defense Foundation and Alliance Defending Freedom filed a formal complaint Thursday with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services over the California Department of Managed Health Care’s decision to force all employers, including churches, to pay for elective abortions in their health insurance plans.




(Life News) LLDF and ADF represent seven California churches that object to offering their employees insurance plans covering elective abortions and allege that DMHC’s coercion of abortion coverage violates federal law.

Last month, LLDF and ADF filed a separate complaint with HHS on behalf of employees at Loyola Marymount University that also do not want a health plan that covers abortions. In August, LLDF and ADF lodged a letter with DMHC itself warning it of its violation of federal law. DMHC responded by affirming its decision to force all plans to cover all abortions, without explaining how that decision squares with a federal law insisting otherwise.

"Forcing a church to be party to elective abortion is one of the utmost-imaginable assaults on our most fundamental American freedoms," said ADF Senior Counsel Casey Mattox. "California is flagrantly violating the federal law that protects employers from being forced into having abortion in their health insurance plans. No state can blatantly ignore federal law and think that it should continue to receive taxpayer money."

  1. What do you expect from the Socialist Republic of California, if they could the left would turn Californa into one big collective farm, would take away all our freedoms, and force us to accept only their agenda. Forget your ideas and plans if they don't fit the communist or socialist idea of the brave new world.
