NEW YORK, Jan. 31, 2012 /Standard Newswire/ -- Senator Marco Rubio introduced legislation today to repeal the Obama administration's mandate requiring healthcare plans to cover abortifacients, contraception and sterilization.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments as follows:
The Catholic community will be delighted to learn of the courage shown by Sen. Marco Rubio in seeking to combat the Obama administration’s unprecedented assault on religious liberty. If the administration were to get its way, Catholic non-profit institutions would be forced to carry healthcare services that the Church deems immoral. What’s at stake is the First Amendment right to religious liberty, and nothing goes to the heart of this civil liberty more than conscience rights.
The Catholic League appreciates the incredible support we are receiving from people of all faiths, as well as from some agnostics and atheists. We pledge to them that we will support our bishops in pursuing every legitimate remedy to this outrageous threat to religious liberty. Sen. Rubio has properly titled his bill the "Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 2012."
