CHICAGO, -- During last week's debate, Vice President Joe Biden denied that the Obama administration's HHS Mandate will require religious employers to provide contraceptives through their health plans -- an outright falsehood that was quickly denounced by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, which has been fighting the Mandate since it was announced earlier this year. Organizers of the Stand Up for Religious Freedom Rally, being held at sites across the country on Saturday, October 20, say Biden's remarks show just how urgently this kind of grassroots opposition to the HHS Mandate is needed.
