Wood Corp. Triumphs in Abortion Pill Mandate Case

A company that opposed the birth control mandate in Obamacare has won another major victory.

The Obama administration has agreed to a settlement, promising to pay $570,000 in legal fees for the Conestoga Wood Specialties Corporation.

Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court sided with Conestoga, ruling the Obama administration violated their religious beliefs.

The Department of Health and Human Services had tried to force them to provide birth control coverage, including drugs that cause abortions.

Conestoga is a private company, owned by a Mennonite family, and the owners said the rule violated their religious liberty.

The Alliance Defending Freedom represented the company.

"While this case is finally over, many others remain," ADF Senior Counsel Matt Bowman said.

"We hope the administration will stop defending its indefensible abortion pill mandate and end its waste of taxpayer dollars on a fruitless quest to force people to give up their freedom to live and work according to their beliefs," he said.
