A Formal Comment for a Department of Health and Human Services Regulation

This letter to the Department of Health and Human Services was signed by Rabbi Mark Dratch, Executive Vice President of the Rabbinical Council of America, Rabbi Mitchell Rocklin, and Howard Slugh, Esq.

The letter requested that the Department of Health and Human Services make a sincere attempt at accommodating organizations that objected to its abortifacient mandate on religious grounds. Previously, the department tailored its accommodation to its own notions of what religious objectors ought to believe, rather than to their actual beliefs. This policy was unacceptable and a danger to religious liberty.
