Does this apply to all cases — EWTN, other religious organizations that protested this provision???

Yes for those 4 particular abortion causing drugs, but not over the counter contraceptions. Little Sisters of the Poor and EWTN still have to provide birth control pills for their employees if they want them. And so does Hobby Lobby, but they were already giving employees birth control pills, so go figure.

No, this decision does not apply to EWTN because it is not a for-profit, closely held corporation. EWTN does not have shareholders or owners. It has trustees and is managed by a board of governors.

For all these reasons, we hold that a federal regulation’s restriction on the activities of a for-profit closely held corporation must comply with RFRA.

Any lower court will now have to take this ruling into consideration. In fact, this case began in district court that ruled against Hobby Lobby. They were overturned by the Fed Appeals Court, so Obama sued to the Supreme Court. Scotus just said that Hobby Lobby does deserve an exemption and sent it all the way back to that original court.

The majority wrote: "The judgment of the Tenth Circuit in No. 13–354 is affirmed; the judgment of the Third Circuit in No. 13–356 is reversed, and that case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion."
