WASHINGTON – The Little Sisters of the Poor found out it has 205 Republican and 2 Democratic friends in Congress after the members filed a friend-of-the-court brief Monday on behalf of the religious order in the U.S. Supreme Court case Zubik v. Burwell.
The case will decide whether the government can force the Little Sisters and other Christian organizations to cooperate with a federal mandate, issued under Obamacare, that requires almost all health care plans to cover abortion-inducing drugs and devices.
