Supreme Court Sides With Christian College In Birth Control Case

The three female justices of the Supreme Court sharply rebuked their colleagues Thursday for siding with a Christian college in the latest battle over providing women with contraceptive coverage under the Affordable Care Act, saying the court was retreating from assurances offered only days ago.
In a short, unsigned opinion, the court said that Wheaton College in Illinois, at least temporarily, does not have to comply even with compromise provisions in the law that the college says still violate its religious beliefs.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor said the action cast doubt on the very accommodation the court’s majority seemed to endorse Monday in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, which concerned businesses that objected to providing birth control that offends the owners’ beliefs.

Contraception is provided free by planned parenthood and other programs. Contraception is available for any one who is willing to pay for it, and most insurance does cover birth control pills.
Let's get real. As always, Liberals are trying to redefine one of their unpalatable desires by using a less objectionable name.
Instead of ABORTION, they are now using the word contraception to include abortaficants and abortions. Every time they say the work contraception, they should be corrected, and the word Abortion and Abortificants should be hung around their necks.
Should Sonia and company be aborted?
I am NOT Catholic but only Christian, but where is The Pope and the Catholic Church??? They talk a good talk, but why dont they say to folks like SS...Not only is your rulings related to abortion and homosexuality unacceptable to Christ Jesus, but also make you not fit to be a member of the Catholic Church?
I understand SS says she is a Catholic
That is an insult to balderdash, even.
What is getting withdrawn here is one measure of social coercion to keep this stuff popular.
These gals are as free as birds to go marching through the street waving their Plan B pill kits high above their heads if they truly desire. Now whether the absurdity of the situation comes home to them eventually, I don’t know.
This is why Bush should have nominated Janice Rogers Brown to the court rather than Roberts as CJ.
Hobby Lobby is a closely held private corporation owned by religious individuals.
This college is a religious-based not-for-profit. There’s a HUGE difference, and any rational person would see that upholding this religious institutions rights to free exercise is NOT a “reversal” of the limited guarantees in the Hobby Lobby case.
The fact is, this gives almost perfect confirmation that the Liberals on the Court would favor forcing churches to violate their beliefs, should such a case come before them.
Just seems to me that if there was anything that made a person or persons candidates for excommunication , why wouldn`t it be the killing of a child and/or homosexuality and /or anything regarding taking prayer and God`s Word out of the classroom/public square
Props to Thurgood Marshall
We now have a Justice dumber than he was
Dumbest ever appointments by Republican Presidents?
Earl Warren; Stevens, and Souter, and the author of Roe v. Wade
Dumbest appointments? Or dumbest Justice? I think there’s a difference
Not disagreeing with you, but both Marshall and The Wise Latina were political, token appointments and it shows. Neither of which had/has an ounce of brainpower.
lol
They've been gulping down "salt water" for so long they don't recognize and celebrate "fresh water" when it begins to flow, as a follow on to another related win that makes a lib USSC justice's head explode.
For some the sweaty hand wringing and furrowed brows will never end.
This unsigned opinion is a step in the right direction. We should set aside what is for some a pathological tendency toward "Armageddonization" just long enough to celebrate something when we win.
FReegards!
LIke Jonah Goldberg says, if your birth control is none of your bosses business, then why do you expect him to pay for it?
No more female Supreme Court Justices, EVER!
