January 18, 2013

Triune Health Group, a for-profit corporation owned by a Catholic couple, assists injured workers who are reentering the workforce. DuPage County Circuit Court Judge Terence Sheen ruled that the state’s laws protecting religious freedom take precedence over the state’s contraceptive mandate.
