Supreme Court Hearing Gives Hobby Lobby Reason to Hope HHS Mandate Will be Stopped
The questions from members of the Supreme Court and the tenor of the oral arguments today in the Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood cases against the HHS mandate give observers reason to hope the high court will overturn the controversial Obamacare provision.
In court today former United States Solicitor General Paul Clement argued on behalf of Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood, two family businesses whose cases were consolidated before the court. Clement argued that Hobby Lobby and Conestoga are protected under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and that nothing in the law excludes these family businesses and their owners from religious freedom protections. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/25/supreme-court-hearing-gives-hobby-lobby-reason-to-hope-hhs-mandate-will-be-stopped/
Pro-Lifers Rally at Supreme Court for Hobby Lobby, Religious Freedom
Hundreds of pro-life activists gathered at the Supreme Court today to rally in support of Hobby Lobby, Conestoga Wood, and the religious freedom of companies and groups that do not want to be forced to pay for abortion-causing drugs in their employee health care plans.
“Right now, our team is outside of the Supreme Court preparing for our prayer vigil and rally today. And it’s already a zoo out there. Planned Parenthood and others in the abortion lobby are out in full force for today’s hearing in Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties v. Sebelius – the first two cases on the HHS Mandate to reach the high court,” Kristan Hawkins of Student for Life told LifeNews. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/25/pro-lifers-rally-at-supreme-court-for-hobby-lobby-religious-freedom/

Judge Awards “Permanent” Custody of Justina Pelletier to DCF Officials
In a ruling that deals a striking blow to the parents of Justina Pelletier, a judge has ruled that the state of Massachusetts will received “permanent” custody of Pelletier.
After the Liberty Counsel litigation team filed a contempt of court motion against the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF) in the Justina Pelletier case a judge ruled against her parents. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/25/judge-awards-permanent-custody-of-justina-pelletier-to-dcf-officials/
Three Reasons Why the Supreme Court Should Uphold Hobby Lobby’s Religious Freedom
In the run-up to the Hobby Lobby oral arguments at the Supreme Court, where the chain store is challenging the Obama administration’s abortion-pill mandate, some on the left have been aghast at the very idea that a corporation would assert a right to religious freedom.
Sure, they argue, individuals have rights, but how can a corporation? http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/25/three-reasons-why-the-supreme-court-should-uphold-hobby-lobbys-religious-freedom/
University Won’t Discipline Feminist Studies Professor Charged With Assaulting Pro-Lifers
On March 4, 2014, a group of peaceful activists were battered and had their property stolen by a radical UC Santa Barbara Professor whose area of educational expertise is pornography. The DA has filed misdemeanor charges against Professor Mireille Miller-Young.
Still, the University has remained silent. No discipline has been announced, not even an acknowledgment of the hateful actions and intolerance of the professor and students. Why is the University silent? http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/25/university-wont-discipline-feminist-studies-professor-charged-with-assaulting-pro-lifers/

Members of Congress Stand Strong Supporting Hobby Lobby’s Religious Freedom
Prior to today’s hearing on President Obama’s anti-conscience mandate pro-religious liberty politicians spoke out on the liberty crushing mandate. Hill staff helped to compile a lot of what they have been busy with:
