Many Catholic organizations and many other associations have been voicing their opposition against the Health and Human Services (HHS) mandate. The Knights of Columbus, for example, have stated strongly: “Our Church teaches that nobody may be forced to act against his convictions, nor is anyone to be restrained from acting in accordance with his conscience in religious matters in private or in public, alone or in association with others, within due limits…To require a person to violate his conscience, then, is to require him to surrender not only his rights, but also his dignity.
