Obama on the Phone

In another blow to the beleaguered Obamacare legislation, the Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 decision that the ideologies associated with religious beliefs couldĀ  not be trampled on by the legislation. Conestoga Wood Specialties of Pennsylvania and Hobby Lobby of Oklahoma were at the center of this decision, declaring that they should not be forced to offer contraception in their health benefits.

According to CNN:

The section of law in dispute requires some for-profit employers to offer insurance benefits for birth control and other reproductive health services without a co-pay.
