Grace College Wins Federal Court Case Over Abortion-Pill Mandate
WINONA LAKE — Grace College released the following statement following their federal court case win.
On June 4, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana issued a final decision in the abortion-pill mandate case. Grace College & Seminary was one of two plaintiffs. The injunction and declaratory judgment issued Monday permanently protect religious institutions like Grace from the Obamacare abortifacient mandate. No longer will Christian colleges and organizations be forced to provide abortion-inducing drugs and contraception through their employee health plans or risk heavy penalties from the federal government. The decision represents a significant win for religious freedom in America.
Dr. Bill Katip, president of Grace College & Seminary, issued the following statement Tuesday in response to the court decision.
“We are heartened and encouraged by the district court’s ruling in our favor, affirming that Christian institutions like ours should not be forced to abandon our religious beliefs to remain lawful. We will continue to provide excellent health care benefits to our employees that maintain our moral convictions, including the sanctity of human life.”
