Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built” but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
The birth control mandate in the Affordable Care Act is failing in courts even after revisions made by the Obama administration.
The U.S. District Court in Fort Myers ruled that Ave Maria University will receive a temporary exemption from the Health and Human Services mandate.
“Upon consideration of the record, the submissions of the parties, and the relevant law, it is the Court’s conclusion that Ave Maria’s motion for preliminary injunction should be granted,” read the Court’s ruling. “This preliminary injunction takes effect immediately, and shall remain in effect pending entry of final judgment in this matter or further order of this Court.”
The school had brought suit against the mandate in February 2012.
“It is a sad day when an American citizen or organization has no choice but to sue its own government in order to exercise religious liberty rights guaranteed by our nation’s Constitution,” said Ave Maria President Jim Towey to The Christian Post. “Allowing a U.S. president of any political party or religious affiliation to force conformance to his or her religious or secular orthodoxy through executive action, is a perilous precedent.”
The lawsuit had initially been dismissed because the administration said they would be revising the rules to be more tolerant of those with faith but the court found the revised rules are also violations of religious belief.
Very good , yay Ave Maria University !
