The U.S. Supreme Court announced on Tuesday that it will take up the question of whether a for-profit company can refuse to cover contraception for its employees because of religious objections. The case will likely be heard in March 2014, with a decision expected in June.
Dozens of companies have sued the Obama administration over a rule in the Affordable Care Act requiring most employers—with the exception of churches and religious non-profits—to cover the full range of contraceptives in their health insurance plans. The Supreme Court will hear the most high-profile case, filed by the Christian-owned craft supply chain Hobby Lobby.
