Christian college goes to court tomorrow to free itself from abortion-pill mandate

The Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia will hear oral argument tomorrow morning in Geneva College v. Burwell, one of the cases brought by religious employers seeking to get out of Obamacare’s mandate to provide abortion pills and other birth control they object to on religious grounds.

The Alliance Defending Freedom, which is representing the Presbyterian college in Pennsylvania, said Tuesday the school “simply wants to abide by the Christian faith it espouses and teaches.”

A lower court halted enforcement of the mandate on Geneva’s student and employee health plans last year. For background on the case, see the alliance’s fact sheet.
