Court Orders HHS to Exempt Pro-Lifers From Abortion Drug Mandate

A victory over the ProDeath Fascists. This could set a precedent for other ProLife organizations in the future which is a very good thing.

"A federal judge granted March for Life an exemption from the Obamacare birth control mandate on Monday, citing the Religious Freedom Restoration Act as well as the Fifth Amendment.

March for Life sponsors an annual rally attended by tens of thousands of abortion opponents. The organization and Alliance Defending Freedom sued the Department of Health and Human Services after the agency refused to exempt it from sponsoring insurance plans that featured contraception that can in some cases induce abortions after conception.

Judge Richard Leon of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia said the religious employer exemption should apply to the organization.

“If the purpose of the religious employer exemption is, as HHS states, to respect the anti-abortifacient tenets of an employment relationship, then it makes no rational sense-indeed, no sense whatsoever to deny March for Life that same respect,” Leon wrote. “Defendants are hereby permanently ENJOINED from enforcing against plaintiff March for Life, its health insurance issuer, and the insurance issuer(s) of employee plaintiffs … the statutes and regulations requiring a health insurance issuer to include contraceptive coverage in plaintiffs’ health insurance plans.” "
