Obama Regime: Give Up Your Business Or Your Religion

Justice Department argues the Newlands can either give up practicing their religion or give up owning their business, the Alliance Defending Freedom, which represents the family, said in a reply brief: "[T]o the extent the government is arguing that its mandate does not really burden the Newlands because they are free to abandon their jobs, their livelihoods, and their property so that others can take over Hercules and comply, this expulsion from business would be an extreme form of government burden."  The complaint states, “The Catholic Church teaches that abortifacient drugs, contraception and sterilization are intrinsic evils.  As a matter of religious faith the Newlands believe that those Catholic teachings are among the religious ethical teachings they must follow throughout their lives including in their business practice.”
