Obamacare Contraception Mandate

In a sweeping victory for religious freedom, that the media has refused to cover and Google has all but hidden from search results, a federal court in Texas permanently blocked the federal government from enforcing the Obamacare “Contraceptive Mandate” against any employer or individual who objects to the provision of contraception on religious grounds.

Last week, a fed. appeals court ruled that the Obama admin. can force Priests for Life to obey the HHS mandate. PFL is now hoping to take its case to the SCOTUS, where it hopes to receive a favourable ruling, as in the Hobby Lobby case.

The Hobby Lobby case was about religious liberty as guaranteed by the 1st Amend. It wasn't an attack on birth control.

According to the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, there are 49 more cases around the country that could be affected by today's Supreme Court decision in the Hobby Lobby case. No doubt there are thousands of other business owners whose religious liberty has now received some protection through the Court's ruling in this case.

The Supreme Court ruled Mon. that the Christian-run Hobby Lobby doesn’t have to obey the Obamacare mandate that requires businesses to pay for abortion-causing drugs in their employee health care plans.

“Ultimately, the more government intervenes and tries to regulate lives, the more cultural clashes we’ll have. There is no reason to have a battle over religious liberty and women’s liberties.”

Solicitor Gen. Donald Verrilli told justices that business owners have no religious freedom to reject gov't mandates forcing them to cover abortions. Justices and lawyers also sparred over whether striking down the Obamacare mandate makes women second-class citizens.

Panicky progressives are hyperventilating over their own false claim that Hobby Lobby is declaring 'war on women' by barring employees' access to birth control. Libs fear that the voters will eventually decide to put Obamacare out of its misery. 

Today, the Senate Democrats and their secular liberal allies are taking their plan to intimidate the Supreme Court to a new level on social media by attacking Hobby Lobby and the Supreme Court on Twitter. Here's why it is so important you join this Twitter battle for religious liberty and freedom of conscience.

If you get your news from the liberal establishment you might think that the Green family and Hobby Lobby are outliers in the battle to preserve religious freedom and that no one else is on their side. The amicus briefs filed with the Supreme Court tell a different story.

The Obama Administration cannot enforce Obamacare’s contraception requirements against a Catholic nuns’ order for the time being, if the nuns tell the gov't they object to providing that coverage, SCOTUS ruled Fri.

The Obama admin. offered a vigorous defense of Obamacare's "birth control mandate," disputing as unfounded the religious challenge that led a SCOTUS justice to partially block the provision.

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor's ruling in favor of the Little Sisters of the Poor's request for a delay in the ObamaCare contraception mandate is a good sign, but no guarantee the Supreme Court will throw-out ObamaCare or the contraception mandate on religious freedom grounds.

SCOTUS Justice Sonia Sotomayor has offered a reprieve to some Catholic groups who want to opt out of Obamacare's contraceptive mandate. Obama has until Fri. to respond.

The Supreme Court’s decision to hear two constitutional challenges to the HHS contraception mandate has frightened Obamacare’s media cheerleaders into launching another of their propaganda campaigns designed to protect the “reform” law from itself.

On Nov. 26, SCOTUS will confer on Hobby Lobby v. Sebelius, Conestoga Wood v. Sebelius and Autocam v. Sebelius, all of which challenge the constitutionality of Obamacare’s contraception mandate. In two of the cases, judges concluded that the mandate violates the 1st Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

A federal appeals court on Friday struck down the birth control mandate in ObamaCare, concluding the requirement trammels religious freedom.

House Repubs' latest proposal to raise the debt limit and end the shutdown could start another budget fight over Obamacare’s contraception mandate, which requires employers to provide insurance that covers birth control.
