Notre Dame Joins Lawsuit Against Contraception Coverage

The University of Notre Dame will join 3 other Catholic universities in suing the Obama administration for requiring them to cover contraception in their health plans, according to Inside Higher Ed:

Colleges, Catholic dioceses, charities and other organizations filed 12 separate lawsuits Monday, alleging that the requirement infringes on their religious freedom. Catholic University of America and St. Francis University also sued, as did Franciscan University of Steubenville, which recently chose to discontinue its student health plan rather than offer insurance covering contraception.

Also on Monday, Ave Maria University announced that it would stop offering student health insurance rather than comply with the federal rules, The News-Press reported.

TCF first reported on lawsuits against the contraception mandate back in January. Read more here.
