Today I saw a familiar sign on a church marquee: If God takes care of the sparrows, why wouldn't He care for us? Of course, this is based on Matthew 6:26 and 10:29. This actually takes Jesus' words completely out of the context of the 1st century mindset and plops it right down in the middle of 21st century America. What people understand this to mean is that God will provide what you think you need, just like He does the sparrows.But stop and think a minute. Exactly how does God feed the sparrows? Does He place a worm at the exact spot a particular sparrow will land at the exact time that sparrow is hungry for a worm? Of course not. I can't imagine even the most avid proponent of God controlling every minute detail of events in this world buying into that one. Of course, if this was…

While most religious organizations and churches sat this case out, faith-based conservative political groups weighed in with arguments ranging from religious liberty to the legal definition of a “tax.”

Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) teamed up with pro-life groups such as Americans United for Life to argue that the act violates the Free Exercise clause of the First Amendment. The ADF coalition argued that the individual mandate would inhibit religious freedom by “effectively forcing” individuals to pay for an abortion premium because they may be enrolled by their employers in plans that cover abortion. The ADF argued that others may be “forced to choose between insufficient plans that respect their conscience versus other plans that happen to require an abortion premium, but that may otherwise better meet their health needs or their choice of doctor network.”

Liberty Counsel, which represented Liberty University in one of the early lawsuits against the act, also argued that the act violates religious freedom, taking aim at the definition of “minimum coverage.” The law outlines a set of essential services that health care plans must include, and the details of these services are determined by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Liberty said that faith-based groups may be forced to choose between their religious beliefs and complying with the law, which may include the requirement to cover services like contraception that blocks uterine implantation or other services that violate the employer’s faith.
