injunction less than a month after the 10th U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals ruled that the companies were likely to prevail in the
case. Heaton ruled last month that the company would not be subject
to fines of up to $1.3 million a day for not offering
the birth control methods.There are currently 63 separate lawsuits challenging
the health care law's mandate, 34 of them involving for-profit businesses
like Hobby Lobby.Kyle Duncan, Hobby Lobby's lead attorney, argued that requiring
the company to comply with the mandate would be a burden to
religious exercise. The U.S. Department of Human Services has granted exemptions
from portions of the health care law for plans that cover tens
of millions of people and an injunction for Hobby Lobby would be
in the public interest and would not burden the government, he said.The
government's lawyer, Michelle Bennett, urged Heaton to consider the potential
harm an injunction might create for Hobby Lobby's 13,000 employees and members
of their families who would be denied coverage for the emergency contraceptives.In
handing down his ruling, Heaton said he was surprised that the Denver-based
10th Circuit's decision in the case seemed to extend a person's constitutional
religious exercise rights to businesses. He said it was in the public
interest to issue an injunction to give courts time to resolve "substantial
unanswered questions.""The questions that are being presented here are new,"
the judge said.
logical sister -- 8-year-old Suci."We absolutely need more
calves for the population as a whole; we have to produce as
many as we can as quickly as we can," said Terri Roth,
who heads the zoo's Center for Research of Endangered Wildlife. "The population
is in sharp decline and there's a lot of urgency around getting
her pregnant."Critics of captive breeding programs say they often do more
harm than good and can create animals less likely to survive in
the wild. Inbreeding increases the possibility of bad genetic combinations
for offspring."We don't like to do it, and long term, we really
don't like to do it," Roth said, adding that the siblings' parents
were genetically diverse, which is a positive for the plan. "When your
species is almost gone, you just need animals and that matters more
than genes right now -- these are two of the youngest, healthiest
animals in the population."The parents of the three rhinos born in Cincinnati
have died, but their eldest offspring, 11-year-old Andalas, was moved to
a sanctuary in Indonesia where he last year became a father after
mating with a wild-born rhino there.The first coordinated effort at captive
breeding began in the 1980s, and about half the initial 40 breeding
rhinos died without a successful pregnancy. Roth, who began working on the
rhino project in 1996, said it took years just to understand their
eating habits and needs and decades more to understand their mating patterns.
The animal
s tend not to be interested in companionship, let alone romance."They're
definitely difficult to breed because they're so solitary," Roth said. "You
can't just house them together. So the only time you can get
a successful breeding is if you just put them together when the
female is going to be receptive."Mating between such close rhino relatives
might happen in the wild, Roth said, but it's difficult to know
because the animals are so rare. If the offspring of such a
mating then bred with an unrelated rhino, the genetic diversity would resume
in the next generation, she said.Harapan, who weighs about 1,650 pounds,
will be kept separate from his sister, who is a little smaller.
On a recent morning at the zoo here, he slathered himself in
a mud hole, then ambled over to settle down in a pool
of water.When the time is right to reintroduce the rhinos, the zoo
team won't dim the lights or play mood music. Instead, they will
use a system of gates to bring the pair together. If they
begin to fight or show other behavior indicating things aren't going well,
the team will try to separate them, using bananas for distraction.Before
then, Roth and the other scientists will have measured Harapan's testosterone
levels while using ultrasound and other monitoring to know when Suci is
ovulating."You should use the science to guide you," Roth said. "We have
really relied on the science."If the breeding is successful, the zoo will
be celebrating a four
