English/ Español: Rubio Applauds SCOTUS Victory for Little Sisters of the Poor
Miami, FL — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) released a statement after the Supreme Court issued a decision in Little Sisters of the Poor Saints Peter and Paul Home v. Pennsylvania that the Little Sisters of the Poor cannot be forced to provide free birth control to their employees by the government. In November 2019, Rubio joined his colleagues in an amicus brief to request the Supreme Court hear the Little Sisters of the Poor’s case in order to protect them from the Obama-era HHS contraceptive mandate, which could force faith based organizations to violate their religious beliefs.
“For years, the nuns of the Little Sisters of the Poor were forced to fight in the courts because they rightfully believe that God and the Constitution’s religious-freedom protections are higher authorities than Obamacare’s unlawful mandates targeting faith-based organizations,” Rubio said. “Today’s Supreme Court decision is a clear reaffirmation that our nation was founded upon the principle of religious freedom.”
RUBIO APLAUDE LA VICTORIA EN LA CORTE SUPREMA DE LAS HERMANITAS DE LOS POBRES
Miami, FL – El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) emitió el siguiente comunicado después que la Corte Suprema de Justicia emitiera su decisión en el caso Little Sisters of the Poor Saints Peter and Paul Home v. Pennsylvania dictando que el gobierno no puede obligar a las monjas a proporcionar anticonceptivos gratuitos a sus empleados. En noviembre del 2019, Rubio se unió a sus colegas enviando un amicus brief pidiendole a la Corte Suprema que escuchara el caso de las Hermanitas de los Pobres para protegerlas del mandato de la admistración Obama, que podría obligar a las organizaciones religiosas a violar sus propias creencias.
“Por años, las Hermanitas de los Pobres se vieron obligadas a luchar en los tribunales porque legítimamente creen que Dios y la libertad de culto bajo la Constitución son autoridades superiores a los mandatos ilegales dirigidos a organizaciones religiosas bajo el Obamacare”, Rubio dijo. “La decisión de hoy por parte de la Corte Suprema de Justicia es una clara reafirmación que nuestra nación se fundó sobre el principio de la libertad de religión”.
