Washington — The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld the Trump administration's broad exemptions to employers who raise religious or moral objections to providing free birth control coverage, paving the way for more employers to opt out of a provision of the Obama-era health care law that has been at the center of a long-running dispute before the courts.

We can use good news. This is a strong start. Now get the Churches back open!
Hallelujah! It’s about time the Supreme Court took such an action.
So the Crux of the decision is, any employee that can be designated a ‘ministerial employee’ falls under the decision. Ministerial employees have to have some ‘ministerial’ duty such as, opening a class in prayer.
What defines a “Ministerial Employee” Is not up to the government.

Obama and his Commie-Care can choke on it...
The reality of this is that it is about abortion. The pill mandate was the back door.
Winning!
Excellent decision and 7-2!
I did a search under “Supreme Court” and “Contraceptive Mandate.” Next time I will certainly consult you for additional terms to use.

Orrrr, I'll remember some topic, and the search won't turn it up, so I'll try Google, and after some more jogs to the memory, I may find it. Completely different title, or synonyms at play, or just that my memory is slowly spinning down the memory hole. I think memory loss may be related to hair loss, shh, don't spread that around...
Thanks. I apologize for the tone of my post. I think I need more sleep before playing with others.
If that's your worst tone, you've got nothin' to worry about!

They have been-—for YEARS.
The so called “Morning after pill.” is but not other oral contraceptives.
