The motion asks that the HHS Mandate requiring employers to provide health insurance with contraceptive, sterilization, and abortion-inducing drug coverage be stopped from taking effect on January 1, 2013.\u00a0 Tom Monaghan is a Catholic and firmly pro-life. Monaghan claims the HHS Mandate violates his religious liberty.<\/p>\n<p>An attorney for the Thomas Moore Law center, Erin Mersino, requested that the Federal District Court hear the motion \u201cat the earliest possible time.\u201d If it is granted, Monaghan could continue providing insurance without contraceptive, sterilization, and abortion-inducing drug coverage.<\/p>\n<p>The motion is part of a lawsuit filed by the Thomas More Law Center. The suit is the second the Center has filed against the HHS Mandate.<\/p>\n<p>Another challenge to the HHS Mandate came from Hobby Lobby. However, the Supreme Court has denied Hobby Lobby&#8217;s request for protection from the Mandate as the company battles the Obama Administration in court, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/2012\/12\/26\/supreme-court-denies-hobby-lobby-request-for-reprieve-from-health-care-mandate\/\">according to Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>An earlier ruling against Hobby Lobby&#8217;s request came from the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. According to the court, the company did not prove the Mandate would &#8220;substantially burden&#8221; their religious liberty.<\/p>\n<p>Hobby Lobby says it will not obey the Mandate. According to the Christian-owned company, the finws for that action could equal $1.3 million a day.<\/p>\n<p>On the web:<\/p>\n<p>You can read the filing for a Temporary Restraining Order in the Domino&#8217;s Pizza case <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thomasmore.org\/sites\/default\/files\/files\/HHS%20Dominos%20TRO%20122112.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The conscience dog-pile grows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":18811,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.7 -
