18 Catholic colleges appeal to Obama admin to rewrite abortifacient contraception mandate

LifeSiteNews.com: A letter signed by 18 Catholic Colleges and Universities was sent to the Department of Health and Human Services today objecting to the Obama Administration’s health care mandate requiring employers to cover sterilization, contraception, and abortificients. The letter, which was authored by attorneys at the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), appeals to the administration to rewrite the mandate’s religious exemption, which the ADF argues is so narrow that it could be construed to exclude Catholic institutions of higher education. | Similar reports at Catholic Culture and Catholic News Service
