A third federal judge has vetoed the Obama administration’s efforts to enforce an abortion pill mandate against Christians, this time ruling in favor of a Bible publisher.
Officials with the Alliance Defending Freedom said government attorneys had argued that Tyndale House Publishers simply wasn’t religious enough for an exemption from the mandate.
The rule is part of Obamacare and forces employers, including Christians, to pay for abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization and contraception as part of health insurance coverages under the threat of ruinous financial penalties.

If no company got a good ruling we would have no hope that the pastor who doesn't operate under some big name would have an opportunity of the same.
