Catholic officials in Atlanta are waiting for a federal judge here to rule on their challenge to the Affordable Care Act’s contraceptive mandate, an issue that made headlines last week when a U.S. Supreme Court justice ruled temporarily for nuns fighting the same provision in Colorado.
The Atlanta and Colorado cases are among 91 such suits across the country that have targeted the contraceptive mandate, according to the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which represents Colorado’s Little Sisters of the Poor in the case pending before U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
