ObamaCare Contraceptive Mandate cases

Obamacare mandates that employers provide birth control coverage for all female employees. After allegations of Freedom of Religion violations, HHS excluded churches from the mandate.  Howerver, a number of religious organizations that are not "churches" have sued alleging First Amendment violations. There are a number of separate suits, but this one is the first one to make it to a U.S. Court of Appeals.  Unfortunately, they dodged, at least temporarily a ruling.  The government has promised to reconsider and may issue new regulations on the topic.  Stay tuned!
