A Missouri business owner is suing the Obama administration over the contraception mandate in the president's health care reform law.

Frank O'Brien, who is Catholic, said being forced to provide his 90 employees with contraception is a violation of his faith.

The American Center for Law and Justice has filed suit on behalf of O'Brien and his firm, the St. Louis-based O'Brien Industrial Holdings, LLC.

Several church-affiliated institutions are also suing the Obama administration over the mandate.

O'Brien is believed to be the first secular company to sue.
