Trijicon has become the most recent company to file a lawsuit claiming that obeying the Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”) would violate the religious convictions of its owners.

The most recent complaint alleges, “the Mandate illegally and unconstitutionally requires Trijicon to violate its and its owners’ religious beliefs by forcing the company to provide abortion-inducing items, such as ‘Plan B’ (the so-called ‘morning after pill’), Ella (the so-called “week after pill”), and intrauterine devices (‘IUDs’).” According to the Alliance Defending Freedom’s press release, “As part of its benefits program, Trijicon has historically offered health care insurance in a way that is consistent with its life-affirming company values.”

While opponents claim a “corporation” cannot have religious liberty, it is obvious to the casual observer that it would create a conflict if a person who wanted to start a company was required by the government to violate his faith to do so.

Trijicon is famous for its industry leading gunsights, which it sells to the US military.  Its inclusion of Bible references on its scopes was a topic of controversy in 2010.
