Overturn HHS Mandate

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recently announced that religious employers will be required to provide health care plans that include coverage of sterilization, contraceptives, and abortifacients. Catholic schools, hospitals, and charities are not exempt from this mandate.  This violation of religious liberty is unconscionable and unnecessary.
