Lori Windham, senior counsel at the Becket Fund, which is the public interest law firm representing Wheaton College, said the injunction shows the mandate "is on its last legs when it comes to religious non-profits," according to the Chicago Tribune.

The college's insurance plan took affect Tuesday and without the injunction, the college would have to provide access to what officials refer to as "abortion-causing drugs" or face hefty fines, according to the Daily Herald.
