Nuns' Objection To Health Care Law Is Unwarranted, Justice Dept. Says : The Two-Way : NPR
That emanated from this:
Sonia Sotomayor halts contraceptive rule for Denver center - Jennifer Haberkorn - POLITICO.com
The matter in this case boils down to filling out a short form form. Just filing an automatic waiver.
That's it.
Catholic Employers Claim That Filling Out an Obamacare Form Violates Their Religious Freedom
Yes, filling out a form. Nothing more.
Their religious sensibilities are insulted by merely stating on paper they have religious objections.
Now, you may agree that religious organizations should not be forced to contribute to a health plan that makes them pay for Birth Control - and I do too,
but do you think the mere act of filing out a form is taking the Religious Liberty exception just a bit too far?
Does religious liberty extend to the right to not have to fill out paperwork?

Catholic Employers Claim That Filling Out an Obamacare Form Violates Their Religious Freedom
Justice Sotomayor grants temporary injunction to Catholic groups who say filling out an Obamacare form about contraception violates their religious freedom."Late on New Year's Eve, Justice Sonia Sotomayor granted a small number of religiously affiliated groups a temporary injunction from a provision in the Affordable Care Act that allows them not to cover contraception in their health care plans if they fill out a form that states that they want an exemption from the law for religious reasons.
Go ahead and read that sentence again.
These Catholic non-profits that wanted an exemption from covering their employees' contraception needsand got an exemption from covering their employees' contraception needsare now fighting the provision (that exempts them from covering their employees' contraception needs) simply because they don't want to have to fill out a form that states that they are exempt.
Why? Because their employees need that form in order to get birth control directly from their insurers (which they need to do because their employersthese Catholic non-profitsare exempt, as they want to be)."
Yes, filling out a form. Nothing more.
