NOTRE DAME EMPLOYEES GET CONTRACEPTIVES

“Notre Dame is advising employees…of coverage provided under its [administrator’s] contraceptives payment program”

NOTRE DAME, IN – Here are late-breaking developments in the abortifacient/contraceptive mandate litigation:

Notre Dame has confirmed our assumption that it will comply with the abortifacient/contraceptive mandate today. In a statement issued yesterday, the university said:

Having been denied a stay, Notre Dame is advising employees that pursuant to the Affordable Care Act, our third party administrator is required to notify plan participants of coverage provided under its contraceptives payment program.

As part of an ongoing legal action, however, the program may be terminated once the university’s lawsuit on religious liberty grounds against the HHS mandate has worked its way through the courts.
