Affordable Care Act Contraception Mandate Stayed By Supreme Court Justice

II Timothy 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

Obama-appointed Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has issued an injunction on behalf of two Catholic groups that claim the Affordable Care Act’s requirement that birth control be provided through insurance plans violates their freedom of religion.

The order was issued late New Year’s Eve, just before the mandate was to go into effect.

The injunctions were on behalf of Denver-based Little Sisters of the Poor Home for the Aged and Christian Brothers ministries. Justice Sotomayor said the Obama administration must present their case against the Catholic groups by 10 a.m. Friday morning.

Justice Sotomayor was joined by judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in issuing injunctions. The injunctions from the appeal court included the Archdiocese of Washington, DC and Catholic University.

The Catholic groups faced a fine of $100 per day per person if they did not comply with the law and if they drop their health care coverage will be fined $2,000 per full time employee after the first 20 employees.

A lawyer for the charities said the groups are being given the choice of violating their religious Scriptures or face crippling government fines.

  1. Just how is this SO CALLED “Affordable Care” (ha) mandate(?) evidence of ‘separation of church and state’…..I mean…really ! At one time the Constitution and Scripture walked hand in hand, so to speak and Our America the beautiful has had the hand of the LORD protecting it and all of ‘us’. , blessing America and the direction our leaders and people are taking seems certainly not ‘wise’…yet(?) again? the LORD is in control and HIS Will will be done……………….seems we truly are heading for the emergence of the “Man” Anti-Christ……LORD knows…and so do we believe…. the anti-Christ spirit is certainly at work within ‘the world’ …more than ever it would seem. LORD help us and bless us one and all. In Jesus’ Name.
