CHICAGO, -- John Kennedy, president and CEO of Autocam and Autocam Medical, is standing firm against the Affordable Care Act's mandate violating business owners' religious liberty and freedom of speech. The mandate forces Kennedy and family members who own a controlling interest in both companies to pay for drugs, procedures, and counseling, such as abortion-inducing drugs like Plan B (the "morning after pill') and Ella (the "week after pill"), that violate their deeply held convictions about the value of human life.
