Six States Challenge Obama Administration’s HHS Mandate in Court
Americans United for Life (AUL) filed a brief today in Nebraska v. Health and Human Services, a case initiated by the state of Nebraska and six other states challenging the Obama Administration’s “HHS Mandate,” which requires that employers provide insurance coverage for all forms of FDA-approved “contraception,” including life-ending drugs and devices classified as “emergency contraception.”
AUL filed the brief on behalf of the Association of American Physicians & Surgeons and six other national medical organizations, using medical evidence to demonstrate that certain FDA-approved “contraceptives” actually kill an unborn child after fertilization. In fact, the “contraceptive” ella can kill an embryo after it has implanted (i.e., there is an established pregnancy).
So in effect, the Obama Administration is forcing employers not just to pay for “contraception,” but to pay for abortion-inducing...
"It may be hard for today’s young Republicans to believe, but the Republican Party, not the Democratic Party, was the original political partner of Planned Parenthood.
"[N]one other than the godfather of the party's conservative wing — the late Senator and presidential candidate Barry Goldwater — led the fight to establish a Planned Parenthood chapter in Arizona. At the federal level, a Republican president, Richard Nixon, signed the nation’s first federal family planning bill into law in 1970.
"As governor of California, Reagan signed into law a liberal abortion rights bill which increased legal abortions from 518 in 1967 to over 100,000 in 1968 and opened the floodgates on legalized abortion in California. Bush, as a young Texas congressman, sponsored the nation’s first federal family planning bill."
Ironically, President Obama would eventually borrow Bush's "family planning" -- recoining it as and campaigning on "Women's Health Security" -- and win four more years with an unprecedented female army at his beck-and-call.
The HHS Contraception Mandate is only the next milestone to utterly sever marital love from life.
