Taxpayer-Funded Abortion Challenge Moves Ahead in Supreme Court

“the Supreme Court ordered the Justice Department to respond to a suit filed by Liberty Counsel on behalf of Liberty University. The school contends both the individual and employer mandates are unconstitutional on the grounds that they infringe upon the freedom of religious expression.”

“Abortion funding is at the heart of the contention that the mandates violate the right to religious expression”

“The Obama administration insists there is no taxpayer funding of abortion in the laws but [Liberty Counsel Chairman Mathew] Staver pinpoints why he believes that position is patently false.”

““It funds it in two ways,” said Staver. “First all, for the individual, for the first time in history, it requires each individual to pay a particular fee and that goes directly into an abortion fund and that fund funds abortion. This fee doesn’t go into a general fund, some of which funds other surgeries or medical treatment, some of which might fund abortion. No, this goes into a specific fund that funds abortion. (It’s the) very first time in history you can trace the dollar to the actual abortion.””

“Staver says an ultimate victory in this case could devastate Obamacare — especially if the individual mandate goes down.”
