NEW YORK, Feb. 10, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ -- Priests for Life has launched a new web domain for its prayer campaign for success at the United States Supreme Court.

SupremeCourtVictory.com will lead visitors to ten prayers that focus on various aspects of religious freedom, and the need for the People of God to defend that freedom against the unjust "HHS Mandate," based on Obamacare. This mandate tries to force groups like Priests for Life to include abortion-inducing drugs and other objectionable services in its health insurance coverage for its employees.

Priests for Life's federal lawsuit challenging the mandate is one of seven cases now being heard by the US Supreme Court. Oral arguments are on March 23.

"We are asking the other plaintiffs in the six cases that will be heard with ours, as well as all those who have filed friend-of-the-court briefs in our favor to help us promote this prayer campaign, so that all citizens can unite with us in prayer for religious freedom," Father Pavone said. "The Supreme Court's decision in this case will be one of the major events in 2016 and it will greatly impact the pro-life movement. A major response of prayer is essential."
 
Priests for Life as an organization is challenging the mandate, and Father Pavone, Janet Morana, executive director, and Dr. Alveda King, director of African-American Outreach, are additionally challenging the mandate as named plaintiffs.

The seven consolidated cases at the Supreme Court are as follows:

14-1418 ZUBIK, DAVID A. ET AL. V. BURWELL, SEC. OF H&HS, ET AL.

14-1453 PRIESTS FOR LIFE, ET AL. V. DEPT. OF H&HS, ET AL.
