COLLEGE
JOINS EFFORT
TO APPEAL CONTRACEPTIVE MANDATE Defends
Religious Liberty, Natural Law
Eighteen
Catholic colleges and universities — including Thomas
Aquinas College — have taken a stand against a federal
mandate that gravely threatens religious liberty and
sound medicine. As a signatory to an appeal filed by the
Alliance Defense Fund on behalf of the Cardinal Newman

exemption to a policy requiring employers to include
sterilization and contraceptives — even those that can
cause abortions — in their health-coverage
plans.
