HHS Mandate and Religious Liberty

Regular visitors have read a lot about the way the HHS mandate impacts religious employers, like Catholic charities, hospitals and colleges. But what about small business owners who have religious objections to the mandate that says they must pay for contraception, sterilization and abortion causing drugs?

A recent letter to the editor in the Harrisburg’s The Patriot News tells that story, “Forcing business owners to pay for employees’ abortions or other insensate procedures violates Americans’ rights to religious freedom. The nation’s founders did not exclude millions of individuals from religious freedom just because they worked in companies.” Read the entire letter here.
