But the mandate ignores that and leaves us with a choice no American should have to make: comply and abandon your religious freedom, or resist and be fined for your faith.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dr. Dobson and Family Talk are represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom in this matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Tuesday, yet another lawsuit was filed challenging Obama\u2019s HHS mandate, which calls for certain employers to provide abortion-inducing drugs to their employees as part of insurance coverage.
