On june 30 2014 the us supreme court upheld a june 2013


On June 30, 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a June 2013 ruling by the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals protecting Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. from providing four life-terminating contraceptive drugs in the company's health insurance plan. David and Barbara Green co-founded Hobby Lobby. The Greens argued that the Affordable Care Act of 2010 (often referred to as "Obamacare") substantially burdened their religious beliefs by requiring them to provide drugs they argued constituted "abortion", violating the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Before the decision, the Affordable Care Act required U.S. companies to provide such coverage under the Affordable Care Act. The justices ruled 5-4 that Hobby Lobby Stores Inc. and Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp. did not have to provide contraceptive coverage that violated their religious beliefs. All three female justices dissented (did not agree with the decision of the other 5 justices).
