    Supreme Court Upholds Religious Exemptions to Contraceptive Mandate.....

    Another defeat for the Left and a Slap to the back of BO peeps head. More of the Stutterer and Utterer Legacy erased.




    The Supreme Court upheld exemptions for the contraceptive mandate under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for entities with religious or moral objections in Little Sisters of the Poor v. Pennsylvania. The order of nuns has faced nearly a decade of court battles after the Obama administration refused to allow exemptions to the mandate for religious entities.


    While President Obama’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) threatened the order with fines for non-compliance, the Little Sisters argue that the Religious Freedom and Restoration Act (RFRA) protects them from the far-reaching mandate.


    The Trump administration allowed exemptions to the provision and the court upheld them in a 7-2 ruling, with Justice Clarence Thomas authoring the majority opinion:


    Justices Ginsburg and Sotomayor dissented, citing out-of pocket costs for contraception and accessibility. …..snip~

    Finally. Sanity.

    While I have nothing against birth control, if someone does based on their religion, they should not be forced to offer it.

    If an employer is a Christian Scientist and they don't believe in medical treatment at all, should they have to offer any medical plan or benefits?

    Is there some mandate by the government for Christian scientists to provide a medical plan or medical benefits. Do part time businesses have to give out benefits? Just how does your uhm well thought out response .....correlate?

    Another defeat for the left.



    Justices strike two swift blows for freedom of religion


    Our Lady of Guadalupe School v. Morrissey-Berru, reaffirmed that religious institutions may govern themselves without state interference. The case involves an employment dispute between two former Catholic school teachers and the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. In both cases, the teachers had sued after their contracts were not renewed. Their schools alleged that they were both simply poor at their jobs.

    But this case was not intended to settle that dispute. At issue here was whether courts can dictate hiring decisions about “ministers” and other religious jobs, whatever they are called, under U.S. employment law. As in a famous previous case known as Hosanna-Tabor, the court ruled that such decisions are church decisions, not state decisions.



    “The religious education and formation of students is the very reason for the existence of most private religious schools, and therefore the selection and supervision of the teachers upon whom the schools rely to do this work lie at the core of their mission,” wrote Justice Alito. “Judicial review of the way in which religious schools discharge those responsibilities would undermine the independence of religious institutions in a way that the First Amendment does not tolerate.”


    In both of these cases, seven justices supported the underlying result, including the liberal justices Elena Kagan and Stephen Breyer.


    These Supreme Court rulings, together with last week’s ruling in Espinoza, show that their concerns have not been completely neglected.The state can neither discriminate against the church nor control its teachings through backdoor means such as employment law. Nor can the state go about freely as if enforcing its own religion, carelessly bludgeoning believers into violating the teachings of their faiths.....snip~
