A Colorado-based company ownmed by a Catholic family has won a legal battle against the Obamacare mandate that requires businesses to offer health insurance that includes contraception, abortion inducing drugs and sterilization.
Hercules Induatries says the mandate violates religious beliefs and First Amendment rights.
Lawyers for the company sought am immediate injunction because if the mandate is enforced, it must immediately begin to change its health plan which renews on Nov. 1.
A Colorado district judge agreed with Hercules and granted the injunction. Colorado District Judge John Kane said that the government’s arguments
“are countered, and indeed outweighed, by the public interest in the
free exercise of religion."
The Hercules case is similar to the numerous cases brought by numerous Catholic institutions and one evangelical college in Illinois.
Although the case is pending a full hearing, the temporary relief from the court is a victory over a government plan mandate every aspect of healthcare despite Constitutional rights. More from Fox News
