Court: Businesses must cover morning-after pill, like it or not

12/27/2012

Women who support access to emergency contraception might want to think twice about working for Hobby Lobby stores. The firm, along with its sister company Mardel Inc., sued to block a part of Obamacare that would require the stores to provide insurance coverage for the morning-after pill and similar contraception. The lawsuit stated contraception violates the owners' religious beliefs. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor ruled Wednesday that Hobby Lobby isn't a religious organization, so must comply with the federal law. The stores now face the choice of compliance or a daily $1.3 million fine. [Source]
