Contraception Coverage Generates Suits, Probable Supreme Court Decision

Challenges To Obama Birth Control Mandate Could Go To Supreme Court by Rachel Zoll, AP Religion Writer. The Christian Science Monitor.  January 27, 2013.

Under the Affordable Care Act, religious groups who employ and serve people of only their own faith are exempt from the requirement that their insurance policies contraception for free.  HHS is is attempting to develop an accommodation for faith groups who employ and serve others outside of that particular faith group.  Lawsuits for that latter group are largely on hold until the terms are developed.  The question of how this contraception coverage requirement of the ACA is to apply to for-profit businesses is subject for several suits focusing on the conflict between the rights of the business owner and the rights of employees who may not share those beliefs.
