The Romney campaign has released a final video talking about an issue important to pro-life voters — the Obama abortion-HHS mandate. Repeatedly throughout the campaign, both Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have pledged to reverse the controversial mandate, if elected.

Today it released a new video taking about the importance of the mandate and the need to support a candidate who respects freedom of religion.

The text of the video follows:

The Obama administration dictated that every Catholic school, hospital, and charity must include services that many Catholics consider immoral. After President Obama’s mandate, Catholic schools, charities, and hospitals are left with three choices: They could pay for services and violate their beliefs; they could pay fines of $100 per employee per day, leading many to shut down; or they could strip care from everyone they serve and limit the good they did to Catholics only.

Why does this matter? The Catholic Church provides an education to over 2 million American children every year. The Catholic hospital network is one of our nation’s finest. In fact, one out of every 6 hospitalized Americans is being cared for in a Catholic hospital. And the Catholic Church makes serving the poor a cornerstone of its good work. Over 7 million men, women, and children receive food services from Catholic charities every year.

This election, it is critical that we vote for the candidate who’s going to protect these religious institutions.
