Congressman Bob Latta (R-Bowling Green) along with 154 of his pro-life colleagues, sent a letter to Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius asking the Secretary to suspend the contraceptive coverage mandate until HHS can ensure both employers and individuals are provided their constitutionally protected conscience rights.  

“Members of Congress are using every means possible to make sure the administration doesn’t continue to ignore the conscience rights of Americans,” said Rep. Latta. “It is my hope this letter, in addition to other congressional efforts, will pressure the administration to change their contraceptive coverage mandate decision,” added Latta.

The Obama Administration, through the HHS Department, is mandating employers, including religious-affiliated entities, to offer health insurance coverage for contraceptives, sterilizations and abortion-inducing drugs with no cost-sharing, despite their conscience objections.
