They did no such thing. They only agreed that such a belief should exempt its holders from being forced to violate it. Where do you see your pronouncement in the ruling?
Furthermore they basically ruled it was ok to force taxpayers to pay for abortions.
FreedomNotSafety,
You apparently misread what I posted. I did not write that the majority proclaimed that they themselves believe that life begins at conception.
Of course, the majority agreed with the plaintiff’s *argument*, otherwise the plaintiffs would have lost!
The main thrust of this case was that the plaintiffs *argued* that:
Abortifacients cause abortion which results in the death of a living fetus (= murder), which in their firmly held religious belief is a sin. Therefore, to force them to pay for insurance that provides abortifacients goes against their religious belief and violates their freedom of religion.
Five justices DID agree and decided in their favor!
