The Patriot Post® · Notre Dame Refiles Suit

Fr. John J. Jenkins, the president of the University of Notre Dame, announced yesterday, “The University of Notre Dame will today re-file a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana for relief from a mandate by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that, contrary to Catholic teaching, requires Notre Dame and similar religious organizations to provide through their insurance plans or third party administrators contraceptives, sterilization procedures and drugs that some assert induce abortions. The decision to re-file came after earnest but unavailing efforts to find a solution acceptable to the various parties.” Indeed, the administration’s only concern is appeasing pro-abortion fanatics on the Left – not honoring the Rule of Law set forth in the First Amendment.
