Respected Christian leader and author James Dobson makes it clear his pro-family ministry puts the issue of life first and foremost \u2013 even if it means shutting down.<\/p>\n

Dr. Dobson didn’t hold back Thursday during an interview regarding his organization, Family Talk<\/a>, and its challenge<\/a> of a federal mandate for employers to cover abortifacients.<\/p>\n

“We are suing [HHS Secretary] Kathleen Sebelius for forcing or trying to force all of us to give abortifacient medications to our employees,” he summarized on American Family Radio<\/a>, “and I just absolutely refuse to do it. We’ll close down before I’ll do it.”<\/p>\n

Several other employers are challenging the mandate, including the for-profit Hobby Lobby.<\/p>\n
