U.S. top court throws out Obamacare contraception ruling


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday revived religious objections by Catholic groups in Michigan and Tennessee to the Obamacare requirement for contraception coverage, throwing out a lower court decision favoring President Barack Obama's administration.

The justices asked the Cincinnati-based 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider its decision that backed the Obama administration in light of the Supreme Court's June 2014 ruling that allowed certain privately owned corporations to seek exemptions from the provision.

Obama's healthcare law, known as Obamacare, requires employers to provide health insurance policies that cover preventive services for women including access to contraception and sterilization.

Various challengers, including family-owned companies and religious affiliated nonprofits that oppose abortion and sometimes the use of contraceptives, say the requirement infringes on their religious beliefs.

The high court threw out a June 2014 appeals court ruling that went in favor of the government. In March, the court took a similar approach in a case concerning the University of Notre Dame.

The appeals court rulings in both cases pre-dated the Supreme Court's June 2014 ruling that family-owned Hobby Lobby Stores Ltd could seek exemptions on religious grounds from the contraception provision of the 2010 healthcare law.

Courts that have ruled on the issue since the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision have all decided in favor of the government, finding the government's compromise does not impose a substantial burden on the plaintiffs' religious beliefs. Religious rights are protected under a law called the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

The case is Michigan Catholic Conference v. Burwell, U.S. Supreme Court, No. 14-701.

Interesting. The lower courts have not been abiding the HL ruling last year. SCOTUS asks the lower court to reconsider its ruling.
 
Why exactly do we want these people breeding?

Sterilize them then...we won't have to go this this anymore with contraception and it will cut down on abortions too

Maybe more decisions like this could push the parties to separate their own health care programs.
Once it really sinks in that neither prochoice nor prolife groups can impose on or want to be imposed on by the other group,
they will get wise and decide to separate and fund their own programs organized through their own party bases.
Create their own administrative exchanges, enlist and regulate their own members, under their own policies
and both get what they want, without interfering with what the other groups use or choose for their members.
