The HHS mandate creates still a third class, those with no conscience protection at all: individuals who, in their daily lives, strive constantly to act in accordance with their faith and moral values. They, too, face a government mandate to aid in providing “services” contrary to those values -whether in their sponsoring of, and payment for, insurance as employers; their payment of insurance premiums as employees; or as insurers themselves - without even the semblance of an exemption. This, too, is unprecedented in federal law, which has long been generous in protecting the
rights of individuals not to act against their religious beliefs or moral convictions
