The Obama administration is FINING the Little Sisters of The Poor for helping the indigent.


Obamacare’s Next Target: Little Sisters of the Poor


Eric Dye — September 27, 2013

We were all warned this would happen after Obamacare kicked-in.

First it was places like Hobby Lobby, Tyndale House and Autocam, now it’s charitable organizations like Little Sisters of the Poor.



Little Sisters of the Poor is an international congregation of Roman Catholic women founded in 1839 by Saint Jeanne Jugan. They are a diverse network of collaborators who serve more than 13,000 elderly and poor in over 30 countries around the world:



And Obamacare is going after them.

According to the Becket Fund,

“Although the Little Sisters’ homes perform a religious ministry of caring for the elderly poor, they do not fall within the government’s narrow exemption for “religious employers.” Accordingly, beginning on January 1, the Little Sisters will face IRS fines unless they violate their religion by hiring an insurer to provide their employees with contraceptives, sterilization, and abortion-inducing drugs.”

The Becket Fund “is a non-profit, public-interest legal and educational institute with a mission to protect the free expression of all faiths.” They are working hard for The Little Sisters of the Poor as they face heavy fines starting in January if they refuse to surrender their conscience.

I would imagine that this is just the beginning…
