THE INFURIATED LEFTISTS CAN’T TAKE THE SCOTUS 5-4 DECISION TO UPHOLD FREEDOM OF RELIGION FROM PRIVATELY HELD COMPANIES–THEY PREFER ABORTING BABIES OVER A LIFE GIVING DECISION–SCOTUS VOTES 5-4 TO UPHELD THE RIGHTS OF PRIVATELY HELD COMPANIES TO NOT PROVIDE ABORTING CONTRACEPTION PILLS–GIVING THE CHOICE BACK TO THE INDIVIDUAL WHETHER TO KILL THEIR BABIES OR NOT

The Supreme Court delivered a blow to President Obama’s signature healthcare law on Monday, ruling that closely held companies cannot be compelled to offer their employees birth control as part of the law if they object to the provisions on religious grounds. [READ SUPREME COURT RULING.]

The 5-4 ruling written by conservative Justice Samuel Alito undermines the Affordable Care Act’s requirement that companies offer contraceptive services to workers as part of their insurance coverage, potentially affecting millions of women.

But it leaves the requirement intact for publicly traded companies and, in a concurring opinion, Justice Anthony Kennedy argues that the government could decide to fill the void by covering the costs of the coverage itself.

The consolidated case, generally known as Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby, is the high court’s first judgment on the landmark statute since it upheld ObamaCare’s individual mandate two years and two days earlier.

The decision hinged on challenges to the mandate brought by a pair of companies: the Hobby Lobby craft store chain and Conestoga Woods Specialties, a Pennsylvania-based cabinetmaker.

The companies are owned by religious families who oppose some of the 20 FDA-approved forms of contraception that must be covered, under the mandate. 

They argued that the requirement violates both the First Amendment’s free exercise clause and the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), which provides that, “government shall not substantially burden a person’s exercise of religion.”
