Bishop Zubik To Represent Pgh Diocese To The U.S. Supreme Court Wednesday Regarding Obamacare

Pittsburgh Catholic Bishop David Zubik will represent the Pittsburgh Diocese to the U.S. Supreme Court this Wednesday in the case challenging the Affordable Care Act. This case calls into question the government’s right to mandate contraceptive coverage in the health care plans of religiously-affiliated organizations. Bishop Zubik argues that this would infringe on religious freedom, while the Obama administration says that it has given religious organizations an easy way to opt out of these regulations. Geneva College in Beaver Falls is involved in a similar case, as are 5 other organizations throughout the country.
