Last week’s approval of a religious liberty law in Missouri will have a significant impact on Catholic education in the state, and it is a hopeful sign for religious employers and families who oppose the Obama health plan’s mandatory coverage for abortion-causing drugs, sterilizations and contraception.

The bill, which passed through the state senate on a 26-6 vote and through the house on a 109-45 vote, is now law in Missouri and provides citizens of that state with serious religious freedom protections.
