Whereas, the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees each citizen’s Freedom of Religion; and
Whereas, the Constitution upholds the rights of citizens to live according to their conscience and moral dictates, and
Whereas, many religions teach that life begins at conception, and that complicity with abortion is sinful,
Whereas, science, biology, and medicine confirm that each human being’s life begins at the beginning of fertilization, and
Whereas, under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) the government compels every citizen, regardless of religious or moral belief, to purchase an ACA qualified health insurance policy;
THEREFORE, we declare that we will not comply with any regulation of the ACA wherein we are forced to pay for abortion or abortion-inducing drugs.
