Abstract
No. 24-319
Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany v. Adrienne A. Harris
On Petition for a Writ of Certiorari to the New York State Court of Appeals
From the Summary of Argument
New York’s abortion-coverage mandate requires many faith-based organizations to violate their deeply held religious beliefs about the sanctity of life. The exemption New York offers to only a narrowly drawn, ill-defined subset of preferred religious groups does not remedy that dramatic intrusion into free exercise rights. Indeed, it only compounds the problem.

Comments
Notre Dame Law School’s Lindsay and Matt Moroun Religious Liberty Clinic promotes and defends religious freedom for all people. It advocates for the right of all people to exercise, express, and live according to their religious beliefs. And it defends individuals and organizations of all faith traditions against interference with these fundamental liberties. It has represented groups from an array of faith traditions to defend the right to religious exercise, to preserve sacred lands from destruction, to promote the freedom to select religious ministers and shape religious doctrine, and to prevent discrimination against religious believers and institutions.
