“Now our faith is being challenged by the federal government. The Health and Human Services ‘preventative services’ mandate forces businesses to provide the ‘morning-after’ and the ‘week-after’ pills in our health insurance plans. These abortion-causing drugs go against our faith, and our family is now being forced to choose between following the laws of the land that we love or maintaining the religious beliefs that have made our business successful and have supported our family and thousands of our employees and their families. We simply cannot abandon our religious beliefs to comply with this mandate.” -Green Family owners of Hobby Lobby
