Defend Your
Religious Freedom!
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has mandated that virtually all private employer health plans provide no cost sharing coverage for sterilization and contraceptives, including drugs that induce abortion, as part of preventative health care services provided under the Affordable Care Act.

Visit the Diocesan Office for Social Concerns’ webpage to read Bishop Campbell’s recent letter on religious liberty, review other statements and information from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) regarding the HHS issue, and learn how  you can play an important part in defending our religious freedom, the very foundation of all  our liberties.
