The challenge comes from Hobby Lobby Stores… "We believe wholeheartedly that it is by God’s grace and provision that Hobby Lobby has been successful. Therefore we seek to honor Him in all that we do," Green said.

"This is a major religious liberties case," said Goldstein of SCOTUSblog. "... And the question of whether these companies can assert religious freedoms is one that will have importance for centuries."
The indignation from those who think corporations should fund all reproductive practices boggles the mind.
As much as I disagree with the religious stance that prohibits contraception, I firmly support a person's and organization’s right to hold that view and not be coerced into funding it.
National health care is crucial to our country and this is part of the growing pains of creating a system that protects health and religious liberty at the same time.
If corporations can be held accountable for protecting freedoms embraced by our national conscience, they shouldn’t be fined into bankruptcy by protecting their own.
