WASHINGTON, D.C. – Susan B. Anthony List (SBA List) President Marjorie Dannenfelser deplored President Obama’s proclamation declaring today “Religious Freedom Day, 2013,” as hypocritical in light of his administration’s mandate that employers and organizations – regardless of deeply held religious beliefs or moral objections – must offer insurance plans that cover abortion-inducing drugs and sterilization.
“Our religious liberty and rights of conscience have been threatened like never before under President Obama, who has mandated that employers must cover abortion-inducing drugs in their health care plans, regardless of their moral or religious objections. President Obama must first rescind his HHS mandate before making any proclamations on the subject – this is blatant hypocrisy.”
