Latest on the U.S. Supreme Court and Birth Control

In a decision on Monday (Hobby Lobby), the majority of the Supreme Court said that one of the reasons it was allowing closely held for-profit companies to invoke a religious objection to providing insurance coverage for certain methods of birth control was the existence of another way to accomodate their objections. They could, said the Court, apply for the same exemption that exists for religious nonprofit organizations. Immediately after this, a religious nonprofit applied to the Court for an emergency injunction saying that even applying for this exemption was objectionable because in the end their employees would be getting birth control. On Thursday the Court granted the injunction and three woman Justices issued a very strong dissent from the order. PBS's Newshour has the story. 5 min 19 sec, transcript available.
