A federal judge on Friday granted 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 relief from complying with a government mandate to provide employees with insurance coverage for abortifacients. The preliminary injunction allows the university to exclude coverage for the objectionable drugs while its court case against the federal government proceeds. 

The university issued the following statement:

This case is about whether the government can force 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 under penalty of severe fines to violate its deeply held religious convictions about the sanctity of human life. 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 applauds the court for taking this initial step as the university seeks to protect its constitutionally guaranteed religious freedom.

晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 filed its federal lawsuit in August 2012 to challenge the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) contraceptive mandate, which requires faith-based employers to provide insurance coverage for all government-approved contraceptive drugs even those considered by many to be abortifacient at no cost to employees regardless of religious or moral objections. The suit, filed jointly by 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 and Grace College and Seminary in Indiana, argues that the controversial regulation violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act as well as the First and Fifth amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
