An Eleventh Hour Blow to ObamaCare’s Abortion-Pill Mandate


At the eleventh hour, literally, the Supreme Court dealt a significant blow to ObamaCare’s HHS Mandate.

Justice Sotomayor’s order simply stated:
IT IS ORDERED that respondents are temporarily enjoined from enforcing against applicants the contraceptive coverage requirements imposed by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, 42 U. S.
