RESIST THE
HHS
MANDATE
Women
Graduates Make the Case for Religious Freedom, Natural
Law
For the
past few months, the alumnae of Thomas Aquinas
College — in cities across the nation and
from class years that span the decades — have taken

coverage for their employees. Citing religious freedom
and the Natural Law, these women have been powerful
champions of the truth and defenders of the
Church.
