Hear that? Nope, it’s not Santa’s sleigh! Instead, it’s Lakewood’s Colorado Christian University once again diving into the national conservative political conversation. What better way to celebrate Christmas?
From The Washington Post:
DENVER – Colorado Christian University has a filed a lawsuit challenging the Barack Obama administration’s health care legislation requirement that the morning-after pill be provided by health insurance plans.
The emergency contraception pill that can prevent pregnancy and can be taken the day after having unprotected sex is considered tantamount to abortion by the suburban Denver, multidenominational school, which has 3,900 students.
The Washington, D.C.-based Becket Fund for Religious Liberty says it filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court Thursday on the Lakewood school’s behalf. The suit challenges the requirement that all federal-government-approved contraception be provided under the Affordable Care Act, including the morning-after pill.
The group also is representing North Carolina’s Belmont Abbey College, a Catholic college, which says the law’s exemption for religious employers doesn’t cover the school.
Now, when right wing out-of-staters hear about Lakewood, they’ll remember that brave college fighting so valiantly to make sure it doesn’t have to pay for contraception.
And we thought Belmar was the city’s crowning achievement.
