Foes of mandatory coverage of abortion in New York State insurance law will have another hearing after the U.S. Supreme Court ordered a New York state court to reconsider their decision. The law\u2019s narrow religious exemption wrongly disqualifies many religious groups which object to providing abortion, critics said.<\/p>\n
A group of Anglican nuns is among the objectors.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe that every person is made in the image of God,\u201d said Mother Miriam of the Sisterhood of Saint Mary, an Anglican body. \u201cThat\u2019s why we believe in the sanctity of human life, and why we seek to serve those of all faiths\u2014or no faith at all\u2014in our community. We\u2019re grateful that the Supreme Court has taken action in our case and hopeful that, this time around, the New York Court of Appeals will preserve our ability to serve and encourage our neighbors.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Sisterhood of Saint Mary, also known as the Sisters of the Community of St. Mary, is aligned with the Anglican Church in North America. It was founded in 1865 and claims to be the oldest Anglican religious order in the United States.<\/p>\n
