A federal appeals court issued an injunction on Wednesday that temporarily blocks President Barack Obama’s Department of Health and Human Services from implementing Obamacare’s contraception mandate.

The mandate requires employers to provide their employees with health care plans that include coverage for contraceptives, sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs. . . .

“By granting our motion, the appeals court blocks the implementation of the HHS mandate and clears the way for our lawsuit to continue – a significant victory for our client,” ACLJ senior counsel Francis Manion said in a statement. “The order sends a message that the religious beliefs of employers must be respected by the government.

We look forward to this case moving forward and securing the constitutional rights of our client.”. . .
