Brief Exposes Health Risks of HHS Contraceptive MandateA federal court has allowed the filing of an amicus brief exposing how the Obamacare "preventive health" Mandate issued by HHS ignores serious health risks to women including stroke, heart attack, increased risks of cancer and STIs.
On the heels of an opposing amicus brief filed by the ACLU, the federal district court allowed the filing of the BDF-LLDF friend of the court brief because it "claims the Government failed to consider evidence of the serious health risks connected with using contraceptive drugs -- an argument not addressed in the parties' briefs." The brief, compiled with the assistance of several medical advisors, concisely summarizes significant increased risks of heart attack, stroke, breast/cervical/ The ruling also recognized the interest of BDF and LLDF based on briefing showing that "the FDA-approved contraceptive methods have the capacity to terminate the life of a human being at the embryonic stage of development." The amicus brief was filed in support of the preliminary injunction motion being argued today by Legatus, a Catholic business organization, along with Weingartz Supply Company and its president Daniel Weingartz. BDF and LLDF plan on filing the medical brief in other HHS Mandate lawsuits across the nation.
