Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsSCOTUS clarified yesterday's ruling today:
The Supreme Court on Tuesday confirmed that its decision a day earlier extending religious rights to closely held corporations applies broadly to the contraceptive coverage requirement in the new health care law, not just the handful of methods the justices considered in their ruling.The justices did not comment in leaving in place lower court rulings in favor of businesses that object to covering all 20 methods of government-approved contraception. [ ]
The justices also ordered lower courts that ruled in favor of the Obama administration to reconsider those decisions in light of Monday's 5-4 decision.

The justices have declared that your religious bosses can decide that they don't want to follow the mandates of the ACA with respect to contraception only.

Unless, of course, someone has religious objections to donuts using birth control.

They don't have many options apart from changing their prior ruling to align with the new decision.

People were just being dramatic. Expect this to eventually get extended to things beyond contraception.

Feel free to add any links you may know of in this way preserving them before they disappear in GD & Latest Threads.
I have asked for a separate FORUM on this subject but until it becomes reality I can only link all these together.
With this November election so critical I would like to have as much reference ammo available for anyone to use as they see fit in stopping the Religious Right from their rampage through our constitutional, civil & human rights.
Be prepared to battle to the end this November & this matter is critical for all voters.
