(CBN News) More than 10 years after it became law, the Affordable Care Act is back before the US Supreme Court, pitting birth control funding against religious liberty. Wednesday’s hearing at the high court was all about forcing nuns to violate their religious beliefs.
The coronavirus may have forced the US Supreme Court to hold its hearings by phone, but that meant this critical religious liberty case could be attended by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg from her hospital bed.
The case is Little Sisters of the Poor v. Pennsylvania, and the issue has come back around again because states are insisting that the federal government should make a group of nuns abide by the Obamacare contraceptive mandate.
