Pro-Life Group Takes Battle to Overturn HHS Mandate to the Supreme Court

A pro-life legal group today filed a petition asking the Supreme Court to review a lower court’s decision in a case seeking to overturn the pro-abortion HHS mandate that is a part of the Obamacare law.

Liberty Counsel filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court to review the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision in its case for Liberty University against the abortion mandate. Liberty Counsel’s challenge to ObamaCare argues the contraception-abortifacient mandate forcing employers to provide free abortion-inducing drugs or devices violates the Federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act and the First Amendment Free Exercise of Religion Clause.

The case also argues that the Individual Mandate forcing individuals to fund abortion violates the Federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act and the First Amendment Free Exercise of Religion Clause.
