Feds: No Contraception Exception for Bible Publisher
The publisher's not a religious employer according to the Department of Health and Human Services
The Obama administration is claiming that a dedicated Christian publisher of Bibles and ministry material is insufficiently religious to qualify for an exemption to the contraception mandate in the president's health-care overhaul.
According to a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday in the District of Columbia by Tyndale House Publishers, the company has been refused a "religious employer" exemption because the Health and Human Services Department categorically maintains that any for-profit publisher is not a "religious employer."
