Congressman James Lankford expressed relief after the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals remanded Hobby Lobby’s HHS contraceptive mandate appeal back to the District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma. Hobby Lobby is seeking a temporary injunction of the HHS contraceptive mandate on the grounds of religious liberty infringement.
“The Court’s decision to remand the case back down to the lower court is one step closer to a victory for the First Amendment,” said Lankford. “It is also a positive step for small businesses around the country whose owners have refused the Administration’s healthcare mandate to provide free contraceptives and abortifacient drugs to their employees.”
