Wheaton College and Belmont Abbey College are two other schools challenging the President's history-making legislation.
After a federal judge ruled the lawsuits premature and dismissed them, both colleges filed appeals with the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit to reverse the lower court decisions.
The Health and Human Services regulation requires group health insurance plans to provide birth control at no cost to consumers, including drugs that induce abortion.
Will this mandate ultimately be defeated in court? CBN News spoke with Jeffrey Brauch, dean of Regent University Law School, about Regent's decision to challenge Obamacare's birth control mandate and whether it could be overturned, on CBN Newswatch, Oct. 12.
