Last month, LLDF and ADF filed a separate complaint with HHS on behalf of employees at Loyola Marymount University that also do not want a health plan that covers abortions. In August, LLDF and ADF lodged a letter with DMHC itself warning it of its violation of federal law. DMHC responded by affirming its decision to force all plans to cover all abortions, without explaining how that decision squares with a federal law insisting otherwise.

Alliance Defending Freedom Attorney Casey Mattox:
“Forcing a church to be party to elective abortion is one of the
utmost-imaginable assaults on our most fundamental American freedoms. California
is flagrantly violating the federal law that protects employers from being
forced into having abortion in their health insurance plans. No state can
blatantly ignore federal law and think that it should continue to receive
taxpayer money.” audio sound biteAction
