Notre Dame University has filed suit against the federal government claiming violations of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act and the First Amendment in the contraception coverage mandate of the Affordable Care Act.

“We are very sensitive and understand some of the concerns that have been expressed,” Carney told reporters.
“We’re not trying to win an argument here … We’re trying to implement a policy that will affect millions of women.”
