"The new proposed HHS rule is merely a Trojan Horse that misleads faith-based groups and all Americans into believing they will no longer have to provide objectionable insurance for birth control and abortion-inducing drugs," said Kelly Shackelford , Liberty Institute President and CEO.

"The Obama Administration has resorted to political-maneuvering as usual when it could have exempted all Americans who have a religious objection to the HHS mandate. In delivering this so-called compromise, the President disrespects the religious liberty rights of Christian colleges and other para-church ministries, while continuing to require faith-based businesses and individuals to provide and pay for insurance coverage to which they have religious objections."
