Fellowship of Catholic University Students v. Sebelius

Summary

Fellowship of Catholic University Students is a non-profit Catholic organization founded in 1998 as an outreach to students at colleges and universities in North America and around the world. The organization’s sincere religious beliefs forbid it from facilitating the provision of abortion-inducing drugs, contraception, or sterilization through health insurance coverage it offers to its employees. Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys represent the group in its lawsuit that challenges the constitutionality of the Obama administration’s abortion pill mandate, which forces employers, regardless of their religious or moral convictions, to provide insurance coverage for abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization, and contraception under threat of heavy penalties if the mandate’s requirements aren’t met.
