It is part of the case. And may depend on a semi-colon http://news.yahoo.com/could-citizens-united-semi-colon-undo-obamacare-100015125--politics.html

In other words, the semi-colon argument holds that the free exercise of religion and free exercise of speech are linked.

A previous judge disagreed but the supremes could go against him.

The article that you linked said this:

...the government’s ability to compel for-profit companies with religious convictions to pay for birth-control coverage.
In Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., the national hobby and crafts chain store asked the Court to take on the birth control mandate that applies to for-profit companies.
There is a widely-circulated inaccuracy in those passages that has been used to whip up the Left. Hobby Lobby does not object to providing coverage for birth control per se; out of some 18 forms of birth control specified by the ACA, Hobby Lobby objects only to 3 of them that cause abortion. So the passage should have read:
...the government’s ability to compel for-profit companies with religious convictions to pay for abortion coverage.
In Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., the national hobby and crafts chain store asked the Court to take on the abortifacient mandate that applies to for-profit companies.
