"WHEREAS, there are religious faiths in the United States that view sterilization, abortifacients and contraception as immoral and view paying for them as against their religion; and
WHEREAS, the administration is attempting to force those religious faiths and their institutions, including schools and hospitals to violate the commandments of their faith by paying for this mandate; and
WHEREAS, this mandate violates the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States by denying these faiths the free exercise of their religion; and
WHEREAS, this mandate sets a precedent that would allow for an opposite law forbidding the coverage of these items thus denying faiths with opposing views the free exercise of their religion; and".
