CNSNews- Sen. Mike Lee (R.-Utah), who has been a leading advocate for Congress to prohibit funding for Obamacare, told CNSNews.com on Thursday that it would be “morally unacceptable” for Congress to vote for the funding to allow Obamacare to continue to be implemented.

Lee also said he believes that Obamacare, as the administration is planning to implement it, violates the freedom of religion by forcing individuals to buy health insurance plans that cover abortion-inducing drugs even if doing so is against the teachings of their faith.

Lee’s assertion on funding Obamacare, and thus allowing the administration to continue to implement it, came in response to a question about whether he believed it was morally acceptable for Congress to vote to give the administration the money to implement an Obamacare regulation that will force Christians and other Americans to buy coverage for abortion-inducing drugs or to provide Americans with subsidies they can use to buy health plans that cover abortions.

“Do you think it is morally acceptable for members of Congress to vote to give money to the administration to force Christians to act against their faith by providing abortion coverage and to force all Americans to subsidize abortions through insurance plans? Is that morally acceptable?” CNSNews.com asked.

“No,” said Lee. “No, and for a whole host of reasons it is morally unacceptable, and unacceptable as a matter of public policy, to allow this law to continue to be implemented.”

The continuing resolution (CR) that is now funding the government will expire on Sept. 30, the last day of the fiscal year. For the government to be funded after that date, Congress must pass a new CR or other appropriations legislation. Lee has called for the Republican-majority House to include language in that new funding legislation to prohibit the implementation of Obamacare.
