California has changed its state health insurance rules to require that churches pay for elective abortions, drawing protest from some of the largest pro-life legal teams in the nation and a formal complaint.
“Forcing a church to be party to elective abortion is one of the utmost-imaginable assaults on our most fundamental American freedoms,” said Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Casey Mattox.
Mattox said California “is flagrantly violating the federal law that protects employers from being forced into having abortion in their health insurance plans.”
“No state can blatantly ignore federal law and think that it should continue to receive taxpayer money,” he said.
The case is just the latest in recent months against aggressive federal and state government efforts to force religious individuals and organizations to fund abortion, including through Obamacare.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a previous case that owners of some companies cannot be forced to adhere to Obamacare’s requirement that they fund abortion-causing drugs, in violation of their religious beliefs.
In the California case, seven churches filed a formal complaint Thursday with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights calling abortion “a grave moral evil” and objecting to “being morally complicit through the provision of insurance coverage for abortion to their employees.”
The complaint cites a letter from the California Department of Managed Health Care to private health care insurers declaring “all health care plans issued in California must immediately cover elective abortions.”
“The insurers were instructed to amend their policies to remove any limitations on health coverage for abortions, such as excluding coverage for ‘voluntary’ or ‘elective’ abortions or limiting coverage to ‘therapeutic’ or ‘medically necessary’ abortions,” explains the complaint, which is joined by the Life Legal Defense Foundation.
“Insurers have confirmed to some of the churches that these changes have already been made in their plans over their objections,” the letter says.
But the state refused to include an exemption for “religious employers.”
“This directive of the DMHC constitutes unlawful discrimination against a health care entity,” the letter said. “DMHC is ‘subject[ing] complainants’ ‘health insurance plan’ ‘to discrimination,’ by denying its approval of the plan that omitted elective abortions, solely ‘on the basis that the [plan] does not … provide coverage of … abortions.’”
Such discrimination would disqualify the state from federal funds, the letter contended.
“The need to remedy this discrimination is urgent because it is immediately forcing complainants to offer their employees a health plan that includes elective abortions,” the letter said.
A previous letter to the state about the issue brought only a response from DMHC director Shelley Rouillard that re-stated the agency’s demands.
LLDF Legal Director Catherine Short said the DMHC “created this abortion mandate in response to political pressure from the abortion lobby.”
“DMHC would have us believe that, while the legislature exempted these churches from the state’s contraceptive coverage mandate, it nonetheless intended to force them to cover all abortions under the rubric of ‘basic health care,” Short said.
“This move was a pure power play, and we trust that the Department of Health and Human Services will take the necessary steps to bring the state into compliance with federal law.”

Not one to mince words, radio host Michael Savage described yesterday how several of the Obama administration’s disgraceful policies, including the de facto open southern border, amount to a veritable declaration of war against the American people.
“President Obama declared a civil war the day he took office,” the radio talk show host and epidemiologist stated on the Wednesday edition of the Alex Jones Show, pointing to the president’s pronouncement that he would embody a more “transformational” role as proof of Obama’s real agenda.
“He has declared a civil war on us, Alex. It’s not like, ‘Oh there’s gonna be a civil war.’ There is a civil war, but it’s the type of you’ve been talking about for years,” Savage said, touching on Obama’s embrace of the Cloward and Piven strategy devised in 1966, which is designed to implode the nation’s economy by overloading the welfare system, thereby allowing the government to play the role of savior.
Breaking down key thoughts from his latest book, “Stop the Coming Civil War: My Savage Truth,” Savage described how everything from the IRS persecution of conservative groups, to the NSA’s spying on journalists and America’s de facto open border policy all demonstrate a complete and utter failure on the part of the sitting president.
“If you like your Ebola, you can keep your Ebola. If you like your ED68 virus in your child’s school, you can keep your ED68. It was brought in by the trainload from Central America this summer,” Savage told Jones yesterday.
Savage also described to Jones how the failure of the lapdog establishment media to challenge the administration in any adversarial capacity plays a large role in acclimating Americans to socialist notions, highlighting the corporate media’s complicity in America’s downfall.
“You don’t have to start a civil war with a gun,” explained Savage. “It’s far more effective if you do it through brainwashing and you own the press and you own the media.”
Dr. Savage also took an untraditional approach to the current Ebola fiasco, saying the fast-killing disease’s foray into the U.S. could possibly serve as a catalyst to awaken the sleeping giant that is the American people to the administration’s blunders.
“All along Alex I prayed that there would be some godsend that would save us from this psychotic in the White House and his band of very, very dangerous people. You’re gonna think i’m a little weird here when I say that Ebola may be the silver lining. Maybe that’s gonna awaken people to the fact that this man is not only incompetent but that his radical open borders agenda is gonna kill all of us.”
