One News Now--ObamaCare opponents will lay 3,300 flowers around the Supreme Court as a "prophetic witness" to remind justices of the children who die from abortion every day. As part of the "Justice at the Court" project, the pro-lifers will also meet together and pray Sunday, March 25.
Pat Mahoney, head of the Christian Defense Coalition, suggests the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will lead to government-financed abortion.
He is concerned about "the mandates that Health and Human Services has put on Catholic institutions regarding covering abortion-inducing drugs and sterilizations in healthcare coverage for their employees. In other words," he says, "the government telling religious organizations and institutions how they are to live their faith."
As arguments take place March 26-26, the group will again meet to pray at the Supreme Court "for God to intervene to declare ObamaCare unconstitutional so Congress can put forward health legislation that respects religious freedom, honors the dignity of human life, and embraces the principles of our Constitution."
Mahoney points out that when Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973, the Christian community was detached and uninvolved. So he is encouraging churches throughout the country to organize prayer vigils during the same time frame. Meanwhile, the Obama administration is reportedly organizing counter prayer rallies, calling for God's intervention to uphold ObamaCare.
