The Green family \u2013 the Southern Baptist owners of Hobby Lobby \u2013 filed a lawsuit against the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in 2012 because of an HHS mandate that would force them to violate their religious beliefs by providing insurance coverage for contraceptives that cause abortion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is refreshing to see a rising star in the legal arena, like Josh Hawley, who is using his God-given talent to defend our religious liberty,\u201d said Don Hinkle, Pathway editor and MBC director of public policy. \u201cWe are fortunate to have him speak to Missouri Southern Baptists just two weeks after defending Hobby Lobby at the U.S. Supreme Court. I expect Americans will be hearing more from Josh Hawley in the future, especially those who would rob us of our religious liberty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hawley is one of a slate of speakers who will address participants at the Worldview Conference, which is sponsored by the MBC, The Pathway, the MBC\u2019s Christian Life Commission (CLC), and Hannibal-LaGrange University (HLGU).
