James Dobson's Family Talk Sues Over Contraceptive Coverage Mandate

This week another religious non-profit filed a challenge to the Affordable Care Act contraceptive coverage mandate.  The complaint (full text) in Dobson v. Sebelius, (D CO, filed 12/10/2013), seeks an injunction to prevent enforcement of the mandate against Family Talk, its founder James Dobson, and the third party administrators of its health insurance plans. The suit alleges:

Based on the Bible’s religious and moral teachings, Plaintiffs sincerely believe that the termination of the life of a preborn child by, among other means, abortion-inducing drugs and devices, and related education and counseling, including by means of acting after fertilization to prevent the newly formed embryo from implanting into his or her mother’s uterus, is an intrinsic evil and a sin against God for which Plaintiffs will be held accountable.

ADF issued a press release announcing the filing of the lawsuit.
