At “the bidding of Planned Parenthood,” California bureaucrats forced churches and religious organizations to pay for abortions through their health-insurance plans, according to a series of emails obtained in a lawsuit.
Three churches filed a notice of appeal with the 9th Circuit in their complaint against the California Department of Managed Health Care’s requirement.
The emails obtained by Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys who represent the churches show Planned Parenthood demanding the agency require that the health plans of religious organizations include coverage for abortion, regardless of moral or conscientious objections.
ADF argues the state, up to that point, recognized that religious groups should not be subject to such requirements.
Planned Parenthood, the emails show, threatened to promote its own legislative “solution” if the agency didn’t act.
Consequently, DMHC issued its abortion mandate in 2014.
