Senate Leftists Lose on Anti-Religion Legislation to Force Private Companies to Provide Abortifacients

Victory: Pro-Life Senators Vote Down New Abortion-Pill Mandate

Angry Leftists trying to circumvent the SCOTUS ruling favoring Hobby Lobby quickly cobbled together a new bill to mandate (force) all employers to provide abortifacient coverage to their employees, and got a very quick turnaround vote.

"Senate Democrats attempt to gut religious liberty and “reverse” the Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby decision on the abortion-pill mandate has been defeated.

Pro-abortion radicals reeling from the Supreme Court’s decision in Hobby Lobby quickly jumped to extreme measures to push through their failing abortion agenda, even willing to gut a more than 20-year-old religious liberty law that had been passed nearly unanimously by Congress.

This effort to reinstate the abortion-pill mandate has failed.

It’s important to remember that the original HHS Mandate, which forced pro-life business owners to violate their faith by paying for abortion pills, was a regulatory action issued under ObamaCare, not a law passed by those elected to represent the people. Yet, when the Left tried to pass the abortion-pill mandate through Congress, they couldn’t even muster the necessary votes to pass the pro-abortion Senate.

There is no question that forcing Americans to violate their faith is extreme. The American people don’t support it.

This is a tremendous victory for life and religious liberty."
