Oppose HHS Regulations, Support Religious Liberty

March 04, 2013

HHS Mandate, Religious Liberty, USCCB
Comments are off

The contraceptive mandate imposed on health plans by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) violates freedom of conscience, which is guaranteed by the First Amendment and several federal laws.

CLICK HERE TO SEND A MESSAGE TO HHS AND YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS.

The Bill of Rights says we are free to live by our religious beliefs. Forcing all of us to buy coverage for sterilization and contraceptives, including drugs that induce abortion, is a radical incursion into freedom of conscience. If you are unfamiliar with this issue, please read more here.

The Pennsylvania Catholic Health Association (PCHA) also submitted comments. You can read those official PCHA Comments to HHS at the link.
