  • Louisiana College is a Christian school that objected to the mandated abortion-inducing medications and contraceptives.
  • According to ADF, the mandate has lost in court 77 times.
  • Alliance Defending Freedom filed a challenge to the ACA abortion mandate on behalf of Louisiana College in 2012.
  • A federal court has ruled that the privately run Louisiana College can opt out of an Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandate that violates the school’s religious freedom.
    Wednesday’s decision from the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana halted the enforcement of a controversial federal mandate that requires the Christian run Louisiana College, as an employer, to provide insurance coverage for abortion pills to its employees.
    "Louisiana College is a Christian college that simply wants to continue to operate as a Christian college as it has since its founding in 1906."    
    “All Americans should oppose unjust laws that force people—under threat of punishment—to give up their freedom to live and work according to their beliefs,” Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) Senior Counsel Kevin Theriot said in a press release.
