So, disobey.
Don’t cover it.
There are some places where you draw a line, and this is one of them.

This is such an obvious violation of the 1st Amendment. SCOTUS should take this case and vindicate these churches.

Mosques get a pass - but muzzies do honor killings so there is that.

History is ripe with judicial and government types going against the will of their citizens and paying a price.

judges like this make a mockery of the Constitution
and
only increase the wide-spread dis-respect for the judiciary

We need to contribute online to Life Legal Defense Fund and Alliance Defending Freedom.

Both have a very good track record for taking on these kinds of cases and winning.

Previously, they told churches that they must hire people who don’t believe in the relevant religion.

We should tell this dirtbag who is paying his salary. Sooner or later, we will need to shut this government down.

Barack Obama appointed this advocate for the killing of babies. She will answer to the real Chief Justice on Judgment Day.

California has clearly dictated the establishment of a religion to which all must belong and pay homage. It’s called secularism.

I was thinking “degeneracy”. You can be a materialistic atheist and still not believe that one person (or group) should be compelled against their will to finance the abortions of another person (or group).

Christian churches should tell this “judge” to go eff himself. Would love to see his response. Pussy ass leftist robe-wearer would probably piss his pants. But they won’t. Pushback has to start SOMEWHERE.

The DMHC reclassified abortion as “a basic health care service” in 2014 under ObamaCare, making abortion insurance a mandatory provision for all business

That needs to be reversed NOW.

DMHC Director Michelle Rouillard explained in a letter to the Churches at that time that abortion must be legally equated with maternity care.

Abortion is the OPPOSITE of maternity care.

Nonsense. A Church has no employees. It has members whom are individuals. They cover their own insurance either through faith or cash.

If your Church needs people to be paid to join it, it’s not a Church, it’s a cult.

See islam.
