Judge Halts Enforcement of Contraception Mandate in Class Action Suit

Written by Don Byrd
A federal judge granted an injunction in the class action suit brought by nearly 200 ministries challenging the contraception coverage mandate in the Affordable Care Act. Among the plaintiffs is Guidestone Financial Services, which provides health benefits to the Southern Baptist Convention. The injunction comes after the U.S. Supreme Court has decided to hear similar challenges in the Hobby Lobby and Conestoga cases.
