Supreme Court Hearing Gives Hobby Lobby Reason to Hope HHS Mandate Will be Stopped
The
questions from members of the Supreme Court and the tenor of the oral
arguments today in the Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood cases against the
HHS mandate give observers reason to hope the high court will overturn
the controversial Obamacare provision.
In court today former United States Solicitor General Paul Clement argued on behalf of Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood, two family businesses whose cases were consolidated before the court. Clement argued that Hobby Lobby and Conestoga are protected under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and that nothing in the law excludes these family businesses and their owners from religious freedom protections. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/

Hundreds of pro-life activists gathered at the Supreme Court today to

abortion-causing drugs in their employee health care plans.

Planned Parenthood and others in the abortion lobby are out in full force for today’s hearing in Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties v. Sebelius – the first two cases on the HHS Mandate to reach the high court,” Kristan Hawkins of Student for Life told LifeNews. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
