"Merrick Garland denied review to pro-life priests challenging contraceptive mandate"
washingtontimes.com
"Conservatives looking for a window into Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland’s jurisprudence need look no further than a circuit court ruling he joined denying further review to religious, pro-life groups being forced to comply with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ contraceptive mandate.
After a three-judge panel on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the Archdiocese of Washington and Priests for Life, Mr. Garland joined a 6-3 majority denying en banc review of the case.
The groups said an accommodation to the contraceptive mandate still forced them to take steps to procure potentially abortion-inducing drugs for their employees. But the circuit court said the archdiocese and Priests for Life were mistaken about how the law really works.
'We concluded that the regulation challenged in this case does not, as a matter of law or fact, give plaintiffs’ conduct the contraception-facilitating effect of which they complain,' wrote Judge Nina Pillard in a 6-3 decision joined by Mr. Garland."
